Title: Development of granular-medium-based energy management system for automotive bumper applications
Authors: Mwangi, Maina Festus 
Issue Date: 2009
Abstract: 
Automotive bumpers are installed primarily to minimize damage and harm to both the automobile and passengers during minor and low speed collisions. The efficacy of the current bumper systems lies in absorbing the impact energy. The primary mechanism for energy absorption is damage.
