An additively manufactured strut device including a cylinder body forming a chamber and a piston having a first part disposed in the internal chamber and a second part disposed outside of the chamber. A first deformable element formed as a lattice structure breaks to permit initial withdrawal of the piston when a tensive threshold is met and a second deformable crushes during continued withdrawal of the piston. In further embodiments, a third deformable element formed as a lattice structure may be collocated with the second deformable element. The strut may be manufactured by an additive manufacturing process. Applications for the energy absorbing strut include aircraft seat frames among other applications.

Proposed is a vibration-proof hanger. According to one embodiment, the vibration-proof hanger includes a fitting bracket having a fixed plate configured to allow a first surface to be integrally fixed to an artificial structure, wherein a hinge unit is provided on a second surface of the fixed plate, a tilting arm unit configured to allow one end to be rotatably fixed to the hinge unit to be tilted, and a vibration-proof unit configured to be coupled to the tilting arm unit to absorb vibration transferred to the tilting arm unit or rotate to prevent vibration of the tilting arm unit.

An energy absorber comprises a base having a weakened portion, a mounting aperture, and a connecting aperture. An energy absorber assembly includes the energy absorber, an anchor member extending through the connecting aperture, a mounting bracket including an aperture, and a fastener extending through the aperture of the mounting bracket and the mounting aperture of the energy absorber.
