Latest energy dissipation device: Simple & cost-effective
University at Buffalo engineers developed the latest energy dissipation device claimed to be having wide applications in transportation & safety. The device is cost-effective since it uses low-cost metallic materials and it has a simple design. The device is designed in a way to possess both high stiffness( the ability to bear loads and resist collapsing) and high damping which means it can dissipate energy. It has various applications from automobiles, and ship buffers to helicopters, drones and more. “Most energy absorbers carrying high stiffness work by crushing or…
