  • Impact resistant component for a vehicle
    Patent number: 10293770
    Abstract: Provided is a load-carrying or non-load carrying structural component for a vehicle having improved impact resistance, such as a gas tank protection shield, an underbody shield, a structural panel, an interior floor, a floor pan, a roof, an exterior surface, a storage area, a glove box, a console box, a trunk, a trunk floor, a truck bed, and combinations thereof. The component has a support structure with ridges, each spaced apart from one another at predetermined intervals, to form a corrugated surface capable of load-carrying. The ridges are longitudinally extending, raised ridges. The corrugated designs provide support structures that are impact resistant.

  • Vehicle hood assembly
    Patent number: 8991902
    Abstract: A vehicle hood assembly includes a first panel member, a second panel member, and a third panel member disposed between the first panel member and the second panel member. The third panel member includes a corrugated body. The third panel member defines a plurality of panel perforations extending through the corrugated body in order to attenuate kinetic energy imparted to the hood assembly.
