Abstract

A method for creating a tangible item (such as an 'A' pillar garnishment (18)) which increases the capacity of the item to absorb energy by the incorporation and/or addition of a plurality of adhesive-covered beads (25), and which utilizes the method and/or type of energy used to normally form the item to incorporate and/or add the adhesive-covered beads (25), thereby increasing efficiency while reducing cost. A new and novel tangible item, such as 'A' pillar garnishment (18), having programmed energy absorption characteristics is also disclosed.
