Abstract
A fender for absorbing the impact between converging bodies includes a supporting surface, a plurality of bosses and an energy absorbing member. The plurality of bosses protrude from the supporting surface at spaced locations. Each boss has an outer perimeter. The energy absorbing member surrounds the outer perimeter of each boss so that each boss absorbs vertical and horizontal shear forces within the energy absorbing member.
