Abstract

See full text

A mechanism for mounting in ground, foundation or structure, to provide road, port, railway or similar passive safety for protection of the respective vehicles or structures, having at least one rigid element arranged as a side of a triangle whose basal side rests on the ground, with its first end at the apex of the triangle, its midpoint pivoted to an intermediate element, and with its second end pivoted with respect to at least one friction element; a friction dissipation member; at least one elastic element arranged with its axis in the direction of the degree of freedom; the at least one friction element and at least one rigid element are attached by a coupling element allowing sliding of each friction element perpendicular to the impact load when it compresses the elastic element.
