Claims21
1-20. (canceled)
A system, comprising:
- an inflation barrier comprising a self-healing liner configured to receive an inflation fluid and substantially seal an opening of the inflation barrier;
- an inflation fluid source configured to inject the inflation fluid into the inflation barrier;
- and
- an activation switch operably connected to the inflation fluid source,
- wherein the inflation fluid source is configured to, upon receiving a signal from the activation switch, inflate the inflation barrier by injecting the inflation fluid into the self-healing liner.
The system of clam 28, wherein:
- the internal volume contains an inner lining enclosing a filler material and a plurality of force dissipation shapes, and
- the inner lining comprises an elastomer and is configured to substantially close around a damaged area of the panel.
A method, comprising:
- providing an inflation barrier comprising a self-healing liner configured to receive an inflation fluid and substantially seal an opening of the inflation barrier;
- receiving, by an inflation fluid source configured to inject the inflation fluid into the inflation barrier, a signal from an activation switch;
- and
- injecting, by the inflation fluid source responsive to the signal, the inflation fluid into the inflation barrier.
The method of clam 30, wherein:
- the inflation fluid source comprises an energizable ignitor, and
- injecting, by the inflation fluid source, the inflation fluid into the inflation barrier comprises igniting a pyrotechnic material to generate the inflation fluid and direct the inflation fluid into the inflation barrier.
The method of clam 30, wherein injecting, by the inflation fluid source, the inflation fluid into the inflation barrier comprises reacting one or more chemical materials with at least one selected from the group of heat, electricity, and oxygen.
An inflation barrier, comprising:
- a self-healing liner, wherein the self-healing liner is configured to:
- receive an inflation fluid from an inflation fluid source, and
- substantially seal an opening of the inflation barrier.
