Deformable front wall modules: BayerRecent Research Landscape
Front and rear collision impacts cause catastrophic chassis damage and passenger injury risk. These innovations engineer specific bumper reinforcement geometries and material integration to manage kinetic energy absorption.
What technical problems is Bayer addressing in Deformable front wall modules?
Inadequate vehicle impact resistance
(22)evidences
Structural deformation during high-energy collisions compromises the survival space of occupants. Enhancing the rigidity and energy absorption of the chassis and floor prevents cabin intrusion.
Pedestrian impact kinetic energy
(17)evidences
Standard vehicle structures fail to dissipate kinetic energy effectively during low-speed impacts. Improving energy management prevents structural frame damage and reduces repair costs.
Structural assembly misalignment
(14)evidences
Acoustic energy and heat from the motor vehicle front compartment penetrate the passenger cabin. Reducing this transmission improves passenger comfort and cabin isolation.
Insufficient structural cabin integrity
(13)evidences
Insufficient rigidity in shell and cast components leads to poor vehicle crashworthiness and handling. Enhancing structural integrity ensures better energy absorption and passenger safety.
