Abstract:
1. A structure for reducing kinetic energy transmission, the structure comprising: a first composite layer configured as an outside layer that serves as first contact with a source of kinetic energy; and a second composite layer, adjacent to the first composite layer comprising a first plurality of triangular expansion structures in which each expansion structure of the first plurality of triangular expansion structures has a base configured adjacent to the first composite layer and each expansion structure having a first tip, and a second plurality of triangular expansion structures configured such that a respective second tip of each expansion structure of the second plurality of triangular expansion structures is in contact with the first tip of a corresponding expansion structure of the first plurality of triangular expansion structures in a mirrored configuration, such that when the source comes in contact with the first composite layer, the second composite layer compresses and at least one expansion structure of the first plurality of triangular expansion structures and the second plurality of triangular expansion structures expands into an expansion zone in the second composite layer.
