Design of Cushioning Systems for Airdrop

摘要

Complementary analytical and empirical techniques for the design of energy dissipater configurations for airdropped items are presented. The techniques are applicable to the use of single-shot, sheet-type energy dissipater materials which have an essentially rectangular stress-strain curve for the greatest part of their deformation, such as paper honeycomb, metal honeycombs, and certain foamed plastics.
