N2  - Based on the vehicle front crash finite element analysis, it shows that there is a large acceleration, so it needs further optimization. In order to improve the performance of vehicle collision, eight parts were selected which have large impact for the result, its thickness as design variables to the right of the B-pillar acceleration peak of optimization goal; 17 sample points were selected by Latin hypercube sampling method. Many structure parameters are optimized using sequential quadratic program (SQP) based on the surrogate model. The results show that the improved RSM has high accuracy; the right B-pillar acceleration reduced approximately 22.8%, reached the expected objective and was more conducive to the occupant safety.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
