ENERGY ABSORBER FOR HIGH-PERFORMANCE BLAST BARRIER SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention provides an energy absorber for a blast barrier system comprising a substantially tubular member extending longitudinally along an axis from a first end portion to a second end portion, each of the first end portion and the second end portion having a substantially similar geometric profile, wherein the energy absorber collapses under a predetermmed load when compressed by a residual blast force., The energy absorber of the present invention may help minimize damage to people and structures by further dissipating force from a blast, in a blast barrier system.
