Abstract:
1. A metal cellular panel composed of a plurality of cells, the metal cellular panel used for making impact resistant products, the metal cellular panel comprising: a plurality of half shells of plate strips shaped in a periodic manner, having a repeated profile, and being fixed together in pairs so as to produce the plurality of cells; all contact points between the half shells or between single cells thereof, respectively, being fixed to each other, a height of the cells, measured in an axial extension direction corresponding to a thickness of the metal cellular panel, said height being reduced such that the thickness ranges from less than to at most substantially equal to a maximum diameter of the cells, to allow a facilitated deformation in a plane defined by the cells; and, reinforcement ribs extending towards corners of each single half shell to provide greater compressive strength.
