Abstract: Flexible barriers are structures used to protect specific areas from falling rocks. In most cases, barriers have energy dissipating devices (or brakes), that help to increase their energy-dissipation capacity by deformation, friction or the two mechanisms together. One drawback that has been detected in existing brakes is that they usually display irregular behaviour so that their real performance can present unexpected results in terms of activation force or total energy absorbed. This paper presents the complete design procedure of a new brake, which is proposed as a potential alternative to solve these uncertainties. The main energy dissipation mechanism is by plastic deformation of its components. The design procedure combines experimental tests and numerical modelling to take advantage of the benefits of both techniques. The final geometry is selected considering its efficiency, which involves not only total absorbed energy, but also energy absorbed per unit of mass.
