Abstract: Pedestrian protection device including a composite body (146) having a plastic material (150) and one or more laminates (154), each including fibers (158) dispersed within a matrix material, wherein the body (146) defines an elongated beam (74) extending between first and second ends, the elongated beam (74) having first and second flanges (86), each extending between the first and second ends, and a web (94) extending between and connecting the first and second flanges (86), and wherein at least one of the one or more laminates (154) is disposed along the first flange (86, 90) and/or at least one of the one or more laminates (154) is disposed along the second flange (86, 90). In some devices, an outer surface (126, 130) of the first flange (86, 90) that faces away from the along the second flange (86, 90) is convex. In some devices, the matrix material of at least one of the one or more laminates (154) includes the plastic material (150).
