Abstract

An impact absorption plate for absorbing impact in the event of a vehicle crash and a method of manufacturing the impact absorption plate includes a base plate and a plurality of bosses. The base plate has on an upper surface thereof a patterned rib unit. Each boss has fitting notches into which the patterned rib unit is fitted, and has the shape of a truncated cone which is open at a bottom thereof. Thus, when it is required to change the structure of the impact absorption plate, the removable bosses may be rearranged on the base plate as desired.
