- The paper offers a new technique to maximise energy absorption using an economical aluminium-rubber composite structure. Using the proposed technique, a new super energy absorber car’s bumper has been designed for Jaguar Land Rover and is in review, with IP filed on the process. Arising from this work is an ongoing collaboration between UH, Tarbiat Modares University and an Industrial partner, alongside Tsinghua University (China), who funded the experimental investigation of the project. Following publication, a PhD studentship and seed funding for an impact lab at Tarbiat Modares University have been granted, directly supporting a Horizon 2020 grant application.
