GA-4/GA-9 honeycomb impact limiter tests

Creators

Description

The engineering tests performed on honeycomb impact limiters show that honeycomb can effectively be used to create a lightweight impact limiter that will limit impact loads to relatively low levels. The GA-4/GA-9 impact limiters can absorb at least 60 percent more energy than needed before bottoming out. Bottoming out of the honeycomb occurred at depths more than 74 percent of the total thickness. The behavior of the impact limiter can be predicted using the computer code ILMOD. (J.P.N.)
