Surrogate assisted global optimization is gaining popularity. Similarly, modern advances in
computing power increasingly rely on parallelization rather than faster processors. This …

The integration of optimization methodologies with computational analyses/simulations has
a profound impact on the product design. Such integration, however, faces multiple …

A composite laminate may be designed as a permutation of several straight-fiber layers or
as a matrix embracing fibers positioned in curvilinear paths. The former called a constant …

This paper addresses the difficulty of the previously developed Adaptive Response Surface
Method (ARSM) for high-dimensional design problems. ARSM was developed to search for …

The response surface methodology (RSM), which typically uses quadratic polynomials, is
predominantly used for metamodeling in crashworthiness optimization because of the high …

This article presents the DYCORS (DYnamic COordinate search using Response Surface
models) framework for surrogate-based optimization of HEB (High-dimensional, Expensive …

A primary concern in practical engineering design is ensuring high system reliability
throughout a product's lifecycle, which is subject to time-variant operating conditions and …

Approximate mathematical models (metamodels) are often used as surrogates for more
computationally intensive simulations. The common practice is to construct multiple …

Coronary stent designs have undergone significant transformations in geometry, materials,
and drug elution coatings, contributing to the continuous improvement of stenting success …
