Abstract
An energy absorbing device includes a honeycomb body having two or more tubes stacked transversely with one another along a longitudinal axis. The honeycomb body includes an inboard portion and an outboard portion. The inboard portion of the honeycomb body is arranged along the longitudinal axis and has an inboard portion bending stiffness. The outboard portion of the honeycomb body is arranged outboard of the longitudinal axis, is coupled to the inboard portion of the honeycomb body, and has an outboard portion bending stiffness. The outboard portion bending stiffness of the outboard portion is greater than the inboard portion bending stiffness of the inboard portion. Structural members for vehicle bodies and vehicle bodies are also described.
