High capacity, adaptive energy absorption under tensile loading conditions utilizing an axial cutting deformation mode

Conventional tensile energy absorbers are often limited in their efficacy by erratic and unpredictable force responses. Additionally, the published literature on devices of this nature is sparser in comparison to compressive energy absorbers and hence engineers are further limited by a lack of exist...
