摘要: Abstract In previous research, an innovative hybrid material double-hat thin-walled beam has been proposed for vehicle bumper system, which demonstrated great potentials improved pedestrian safety and reduced weight. this work, we have used aluminum foam to fill the further its application in bodies with increased bending resistance energy absorption efficiency. Bending behaviors of both empty foam-filled beams were numerically investigated using validated LS-DYNA models. Three representative loading positions including mid-span, 50 mm 100 mm offsets from mid-span simulated reveal effect load position uncertainty. It was found that filler could increase specific (SEA) by more than 30% double moment (Mb) changing deformation pattern. Moreover, shows robust crashworthiness performance against variation. Using radial basis function (RBF) metamodels, multi-objective design optimization (MDO) problems formulated filled maximize SEA Mb minimize initial peak force (Fip). The particle swarm (MOPSO) seek Pareto fronts MDO problems. results show much broader space terms Fip, high-energy crash applications. also front varies different either or beam. Including multiple achieve a Appropriate weighting factors should be chosen yield realistic designs beams.
