Abstract
A device to absorb kinetic energy caused by an exceptional load includes an outer casing configured to maintain integrity after the exceptional load. A core of the device is made of a compactable material at least partially filling the outer casing. The core material is compacted under an exceptional load and absorbs some of the kinetic energy caused by the load. At least one stiffness element is incorporated into the core. A distribution element includes each stiffness element. An aircraft, a vehicle, an item of equipment and an installation includes such a device.
