Optimization of car structures is of great interest to the automotive industry. This work is concerned with structural optimization of a car body with the intent to increase the crashworthiness properties of the vehicle or decrease weight with the crashworthiness properties unaffected. In this work
Response surface methodology is used to construct approximations to temperature and stress in transient thermoelastic analysis of non-linear systems. The analysis forms the core component of a heating=cooling rate maximization problem in which the ordinates of the ambient temperature at equally spac
