<p>(0024) A tubular honeycomb article (10) for use in absorbing energy. The article (10) is made by taking a planar honeycomb and forming it into tube shaped honeycomb body (12). The tube shape of the honeycomb body (12) is retained by providing a shell (14) around the perimeter of the honeycomb body (12). The resulting tubular honeycomb article (10) may be used as an insert or collar in automotive steering columns to provide absorption of energy during occupant loading in an frontal crash. <IMAGE></p> |
