MUMBAI, India, Feb. 27 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202541132930 A) filed by Dr. Mahalingam College Of Engineering And Technology, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, on Dec. 29, 2025, for 'layered shock absorbing panel using silica fume modified outer layers and crumb rubber concrete core.'
Inventor(s) include M. Sudharsanan; and P. S. Sathish Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on Feb. 27, under issue no. 09/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention is a layered shock-absorbing structural panel having two high-strength silica-fume-modified concrete outer layers and a centrally placed crumb-rubber-modified concrete core. Outer layers provide compressive strength, stiffness, and structural integrity, while the ductile rubberized core acts as an energy dissipating media to attenuate impact, shock, blast, and vibration loads. The present invention further includes an optimum thickness ratio among layers and a bonding interface treatment that allows for effective mechanical interlock and monolithic performance. Combining rigid silica-fume skins with a deformable core yields a composite panel with superior toughness, controlled deformation, and enhanced post-impact resilience, overcoming the limitations in using homogeneous rubberized concrete or conventional sandwich panels."
