This paper presents a nonlinear response surface-based safety optimisation and robustness process. The stepwise regression and optimal Latin hyper cube sampling methods are employed to construct the 'efficient-to-compute' surrogate model. A sequential quadratic programming method with mixed types of variables is employed for the design optimisation. A reliability based design optimisation model for robust system parameter design of vehicle safety is proposed and a Monte Carlo based stochastic simulation is used to perform the robustness assessment and the reliability-driven robust design. The methodology has been applied to the vehicle crash safety design of side impact. It shows that a vehicle weight can be significantly reduced with an improved safety performance and with a higher level of confidence. CAE simulation is used to validate the optimal results.
