Stabilized aggregates, other materials and structures, including but not limited to energy absorption in applications

摘要

Described are materials (14) and structures (10) for absorbing energy. The materials (14) and structures (10) are well suited for arresting aircraft and other vehicles, although their purposes need not be so limited. Also detailed are packaging and other solutions for maintaining system integrity, especially (but not exclusively) when foam glass or other aggregate is employed.
