The present deliverable collects the work done by the Flexcrash consortium in task 1.3. Specifically, it reports the analysis of the initial boundary conditions to develop the design concept of the front end addressed by the project to respond to the future crash scenario calculated by simulation in the project. The conceptual design will couple novel concepts to manufacture the metal constituting components - integrating additive manufacturing with conventional technologies, namely extrusion and high-pressure die casting (HPDC) - intended to trade off enhanced passive crash performance and light-weighting and actuators to move in due time the front end according to a predicted crash event. Starting from simulations at the full vehicle level, the work of task 1.3 started from a deep analysis of the state of the art and competing technologies and concluded with the first design archetypes of the novel front end’s constituting components: extrusion profiles (EP), HPDC, and actuation system (AS).
