ABSTRACT:
A composite fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) bumper includes an energy absorbing outer shell which is spaced from a rigid inner beam. The outer shell deforms under low impact loads and serves as an energy absorber. Upon high impact loads, the shell abuts the inner beam which, in turn, transfers the loads to the vehicle frame.
