Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0581707A1] The present invention relates to an energy-absorbing structure, especially for railway vehicles. Structure, characterised in that it consists of a zone (1) deformable as a result of the dynamic plastic buckling of its structural elements (2), the said zone (1) being provided at at least one or at both ends of the vehicle (3) and advantageously forming a luggage compartment, an access platform or the like, with the possibility of two-way access, between a movable end frame (4) and a fixed frame (5) delimiting the ends of the passenger space. The invention can be used more particularly in the sector of the building of railway vehicles. <IMAGE>
