1. A system for creating an adhesive bond using elastomeric material, the system comprising:
a first material, the first material having a first material length and a first material width;
a second material, the second material having a second material length and a second material width;
a gap between the first material and the second material, wherein the gap includes a height and a length, the height being substantially equal to a distance between the first material and the second material, and the length being substantially orthogonal to the height and defined by a degree of overlap between the first and second materials; and
an elastomeric material substantially filling at least a portion of the height and length of the gap between the first material and the second material, wherein the elastomeric material has a Young's Modulus equal to or less than 35 MPa at 300% elongation thereby providing enhanced energy absorption and impact resistance.
