BRACE FOR AN ADAPTIVE CRASH STRUCTURE, ADAPTIVE CRASH STRUCTURE, VEHICLE, METHOD FOR ADAPTING AT LEAST ONE ADAPTIVE CRASH STRUCTURE, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A BRACE

摘要

The invention relates to a brace (1) for an adaptive crash structure (2) of a vehicle, having an outer wall (3) which encloses a cavity (4). The brace (1) has at least two electrodes (5) which protrude into the cavity (4), wherein the electrodes (5) lie opposite each other, and each electrode (5) can be connected to a power source (6). The brace (1) has a particulate material (7) which is arranged within the cavity (4), and the particulate material (7) can be solidified (15) by means of a current flow (8) between the two electrodes (5).
