Abstract：This paper presents the Diverse Competitive Design (DCD) for a new pre-fold energy absorption tube. This study aims to optimize the geometric parameters to minimize the specific energy absorption and maximize peak force for the energy absorption tube by combining the pair of diverse competitive design optimization with Kriging surrogate together. Different configurations, behaviors and deformation patterns are obtained for the DCD and dual DCD optimization problems. The results illustrate the significance of the diverse competitive designs in the actual engineering field.
