Abstract Design Sensitivity Analysis (DSA) is a widely used technique in many areas of finite element analysis, but one that hasn’t yet become available for industrial problems in crashworthiness and automotive safety. In the following effort, an implementation of DSA in the automotive safety simulation program, Radioss, is described. Radioss is a non-linear structures program using an explicit time integration method. A full set of DSA equations are developed and integrated into Radioss so that the design sensitivities can be computed directly and accurately as a result of a single crashworthiness simulation. Some validation results are included. The resulting methodology promises to be an extremely useful tool for engineers involved in the design of safety and crashworthiness of automobiles.

A unified design sensitivity analysis theory and a linearization method of optimization are employed for structural component shape optimization. A material derivative method for shape design sensitivity analysis, using the variational formulation of the equations of elasticity and the finite element method for numerical analysis, is used to calculate derivatives of stress and other structural response measures with respect to boundary shape. Alternate methods of boundary shape parameterization are investigated, through solution of two test problems that have been treated previously by other methods: a fillet and a torque arm. Numerical experiments with these examples and a variety of finite element models show that component shape optimization requires careful selection of boundary parameterization, finite element model, and finite element grid refinement techniques.
