摘要：

Weight reduction for an automobile body is sought to achieve fuel efficiency and energy conservation. Recently, the UltraLight Steel Auto Body (ULSAB) concept is suggested using a few methods. ULSAB pursues a lightweight automotive with steel structure. Tailor welded blank (TWB) is one of the ULSAB methods and TWB can be utilized for an automobile door. Optimization technology is applied to the inner panel of a door which is made by TWB. A design process is appropriately defined for the inner panel. The design starts from an existing component. At first, the inner reinforcements are removed to use TWB technology. In the conceptual design stage, topology optimization is conducted to find the distribution of the variable thickness. The number of parts and the welding lines are determined from the topology design. In the detailed design process, size optimization is carried out to find thickness while the stiffness constraints are satisfied. Size optimization is performed based on the welding lines determined from topology optimization. The final parting lines are tuned by shape optimization. The results from size optimization are considered constant in shape optimization. A commercial optimization software GENESIS is utilized for the optimization processes.
