The front longitudinal beam (FLB) is the most important energy-absorbing and crashing force-transmitting structure of a vehicle under front-impact collision. For better weight reduction and crashworthiness of the FLB, a new structure, variable rolled blank-variable cross-sectional shape FLB (VRB-VCS FLB), is proposed. It has both the continuous variation of thickness and variable cross-sectional shape in space. As the thickness distribution and cross-sectional shape change continuously, the proposed structure evolves into three distinct forms, i.e., the uniform-thickness FLB, variable rolled blank FLB, and variable cross-sectional shape FLB. However, literature on parametric modeling and crashworthiness design optimization of the VRB-VCS FLB is very limited. This paper proposes a parametric modeling method of VRB-VCS FLB with manufacturing constraints. Multiobjective crashworthiness design optimization is performed to explore the lightweightness and crashworthiness performance of the VRB-VCS FLB. Firstly, thickness distribution and cross-sectional shape parameters are defined. Secondly, local parametric subsystem front-impact model is established to balance accuracy and efficiency. Thirdly, a multiobjective optimization model of VRB-VCS FLB is constructed. Finally, a fully automated design of experiment platform is established to improve the data collection efficiency, and epsilon-support vector regression technique and non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II are utilized to search the Pareto optimal frontier. The numerical results show that the lightweightness and crashworthiness of the VRB-VCS FLB are significantly improved when compared with the uniform-thickness FLB.
