The objective  of the study is to evaluate the feasibility              and effectiveness of integrating a multidirectional energy                      absorbing device into the front frame of an automotive structure                to allow for maximum energy absorption with reduced longitudinal                deformation.  The premise is that the application of a single-                  input, multiple-output mechanical device to the frame of a                      vehicle could dissipate energy in mutually orthogonal directions,               thereby absorbing significantly more energy with a smaller                      longitudinal displacement.  Therefore, the likelihood of                        passenger compartment intrusion and occupant injury would be                    greatly reduced.                                                                        The plan for completion of this study involves four phases:             Phase I involves research in the area of single-input, multi-                   output devices.  Phase II, the Design Phase, involves preparation               of a preliminary design for integration of such a device into a                 vehicle structure.      Phase III, the Modelling Phase, involves a              mathematical model of the designed system with simulated mass                   distributions.  The response of the system, possibly under                      various impact conditions, is determined.                                               Phase IV, the Verification Phase, determines the degree of              correlation between the analytical prediciton of Phase III and                  the experimental data acquired in Phase IV.  The experimental                   data may be gathered by testing of a scale model.                                       The project is one supported under the Creativity Awards                for Engineering Students.
