Abstract
A corrugated ribbon assembly for absorbing energy from an impact. The assembly includes a corrugated ribbon that is embedded in a stabilizing foam. The corrugated ribbon has two sides that define an energy absorbing wall which extends between a first impact edge of the ribbon and a second impact edge of the ribbon. The wall undergoes buckling to absorb energy when the first or second edge is impacted in a direction that is substantially parallel to the wall. The foam provides structural support for the ribbon during buckling thereof.
