description Abstract This paper presents an integrated approach for an ultimate high-performance safety toe cap with significant milestones in slim design and weight saving. The study of crashworthiness properties was performed through impact-crash test conditions exploring the potential of applicant solutions by the combination of an advanced high-strength steel and enhanced geometric stiffening models. The structural response for a significant thickness reduction was assessed and it provides an evolved discussion for improvements in energy absorption capacity. The present case study focuses on two geometric models from the S3 slim toe cap development by prototypes made of a martensitic 1200 steel alloy. The comparison of results is complemented using numerical simulation models with mathematical description of the dynamic plasticity behaviour by applying a constitutive Cowper-Symonds equation with fundamental parameters for material strain-rate dependence.
