Surrogate modeling (Meta-modeling) is a commonly used approach for analysis of complex systems' behavior. Time and computing demands of analytical models describing such [...]

Truss topology weight optimization problem with discrete cross-sections can be formulated as a mixed-integer linear program (MILP), which is solvable to global optimality [...]

This contribution focuses on a double-looped reliability-based design optimization, in which the reliability of the system is evaluated in the inner loop and the designin [...]

Surrogate modeling (Meta-modeling) is an often used tool for analysis of behavior of complex systems which are usually described by computationally demanding models. Surr [...]

This contribution focuses on searching for global optima of size optimization benchmarks utilizing a method based on branch and bound principles. The goal is to show the [...]

The present paper describes the application of the particle swarm optimization (PSO) to the shape optimization of two-dimensional domains described by NURBS (non-uniform [...]

This paper presents a new approach for generating a Design of Experiments in constrained and non-regular two-dimensional spaces. The methodology is based on the triangula [...]

Meta-models (or surrogate models, formerly response surfaces) are getting popular in engineering designs. They are used to simulate the behaviour of structures with less [...]

A design of experiments creates an essential part in any experimentation, development of metamodels, sensitivity analysis or probability calculations. The creation of the [...]
