DEFORMATION STRUCTURE AND PEDESTRIAN PROTECTION DEVICE HAVING A DEFORMATION STRUCTURE

摘要

A deformation structure includes at least one first layer and a second layer, which are arranged spaced apart from one another in a deformation direction and such that they can be displaced relative to one another. The first layer and the second layer have complementary protrusions and recesses, which are designed in such a way that the protrusions of the first layer and recesses of the second layer, as well as the protrusions of the second layer and recesses of the first layer can dip into one another. The first layer and the second layer are connected to one another via deformable web elements in such a way that, with a high impulse in the deformation direction, the protrusions of the first layer dip into recesses of the second layer, and protrusions of the second layer dip into recesses of the first layer, such that a deformation of the deformation structure occurs at a low force level in the deformation direction, and with a low impulse in the deformation direction, the protrusions of the first layer impinge on the protrusions of the second layer such that a deformation of the deformation structure occurs at a high force level in the deformation direction.
