ABSTRACT:
A crushable, composite, columnar, self-stabilized structure for absorbing energy by progressively reacting compression forces along the axis of the structure. The compression failure initiates at one end and progresses to the second end of the stiffener in a controlled fashion in that at any cross section, the local compression strength at that point is less than the general stability strength of the remaining structure.
