We present computational procedure for evaluating the sensitivity coefficients of porous viscoplastic solids under dynamic loading. The effects of finite strains, material strain and strain-rate hardening, and the thermal softening due to adiabatic heating are incorporated into the formulation. A critical void volume fraction criterion is used to identify the initiation of failure. The equations of motion emanating from a finite element semi-discretization are integrated using an explicit central difference scheme. First- and second-order sensitivity coefficients of the response quantities (derivatives with respect to various material parameters) are evaluated using a direct differentiation approach in conjunction with an automatic differentiation software facility. Finally, we present numerical results for tensile specimens subjected to impact loading.
