Abstract
A shape design sensitivity analysis (DSA) and optimization of structural transient dynamics are proposed for the finite deformation elastoplastic materials under impact with a rigid surface. A shape variation of the structure is considered using the material derivative approach in continuum mechanics. Hyperelasticitybased multiplicatively decomposed elastoplasticity is used for the constitutive model. The implicit Newmark time integration scheme is used for the structural dynamics. The design sensitivity equation is solved at each converged time step with the same tangent stiffness matrix as response analysis without iteration. The cost of sensitivity computation is more efficient than the cost of response analysis for the implicit time integration method. The efficiency and the accuracy of the proposed method are shown through the design optimization of a vehicle bumper.
