TRB tailor rolled blank It allows continuous metal thickness changes, and as a MDO multidisciplinary design optimization result, it offers opportunities for automotive design in NVH noise vibration and harshness weight reduction, part complexity reduction, reduced TWB tailor welded blank capital investment, yet, maintains equal to or better strength LHS Latin hypercube sampling characteristics. The objective of this research is to take RSS residual sum of square advantages of the TRB manufacturing technology and IIHS Insurance Institute for Highway Safety combine with the advanced multidisciplinary design opti- mization (MDO) methodology to optimize vehicle struc- ture. The process begins with noise vibration and harshness (NVH) optimization. The outputs of the optimal NVH 1 Introduction response sensitivities are employed to build the first order response surface models. Uniform Latin Hypercube sam- Government legislations, environmental pressures, safety pling and subset selection regression methods are used to regulations, and consumer wants are driving the need for a construct the response surface models for the highly lighter vehicle that is more fuel-efficient, produces lower nonlinear impact an
