Claim 0:
1. A flexible energy absorbing system, comprising:
a first plurality of cells comprising a first re-entrant geometry; and
a second plurality of cells comprising a second geometry, different from the first re-entrant geometry, wherein:
the first plurality of cells and the second plurality of cells comprise an elastomeric material,
cells in the first plurality of cells are located in a first area of the flexible energy absorbing system and cells in the second plurality of cells are located in a second area of the flexible energy absorbing system, different than the first area of the flexible energy absorbing system,
cells in the first area of the flexible energy absorbing system are packed at a higher density than cells in the second area of the flexible energy absorbing system, and
a third area is provided between the first area and the second area and comprises a packing density less than that of the first plurality of cells in the first area of the flexible energy absorbing system and greater than that of the second plurality of cells in the second area of the flexible energy absorbing system.
