ABSTRACT:
An energy absorbing vehicle door is disclosed comprised of an inner panel, an outer panel joined to the inner panel, door trim panel material on the inner panel, and at least one energy absorbing member mounted on the inner panel. The energy absorbing member has a first surface adjacent the outer member and a second surface adjacent the door trim panel. The energy absorbing member is mounted at a position corresponding to the vicinity of the vehicle operator's lower leg to reduce dynamic motion between the occupant's femur and lower leg, thereby reducing femur distal movement response during a vehicle impact event.
