Abstract

See full text

An energy absorbing structure including an ovoid having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end and the second end are opposed; a first arch; and a second arch. The arches are inverted with respect to one another such that first arch legs are opposed to second arch legs. The arches are nested into the ovoid such that apexes of the arches intersect, and the first arch legs intersect a first surface and the second arch legs intersect a second surface. The first end of the ovoid is directed towards the first surface and the second end of the ovoid is directed towards the second surface. When a threat encounters either or both of the first and second surfaces, the structure collapses to absorb energy originated from the threat.
