Abstract
Disclosed herein is an integrated combination of materials within a vesicle, comprising a space filling porous or fibrous structure and an engineered nonuniform elastic truss to form an impact mitigating Hybrid Material System (HMS). The macroscale and microscale structures within the HMS can be configured to absorb kinetic energy and reduce the forces transmitted by impacts through the HMS to any surface or body in contact with the HMS.
