Energy-absorbing device, in particular in the form of a safety device against shock loads for a track-borne vehicle

摘要

The device (100) has an energy-absorbing member (10) including an energy-absorbing region made of fibrous composite material reduced to fibers in a non-ductile manner when a mating member (20) is moved relative to the energy-absorbing member. The mating member is in a form of a hollow body that is opened at an end-face (25) of the mating member adjacent to the energy-absorbing member. A set of fragments of the energy-absorbing region formed from the material is received at an interior of the hollow body when the mating member is moved relative to the energy-absorbing member.
