For high-cost simulation-based optimization design problem, surrogate model is usually
constructed to reduce computational cost and time. When there are complex constraints for …

One of the major drivers of heat transfer within a spacecraft heatshield is the effective
thermal conductivity of the thermal protection material. For carbon-based thermal protection …

Surrogate models provide a powerful method for simplifying calculations within complex
simulations. While surrogate models are broadly applied within chemical engineering, little …

The clamp band joint (CBJ) is a multi-component and complex device for connecting and
separating satellites from launch vehicles. In this article, the pre-tightening and connection …

In order to meet the increasing demand for electric vehicles, automotive suppliers such as
ZF Friedrichshafen AG are trying to develop modular electric motor platforms. In order to find …

Constraints widely exist in the structural optimization problems, including not only expensive
constraints but also inexpensive constraints with explicit or implicit analytical expressions …

Hypersonic vehicle has gained increasing attention due to its high cruise speed and long
voyage. In this paper, an enhanced Sequential Approximate Optimization method is …

Given the limitations of Latin hypercube design in constrained design space, Latin
hypervolume designs with good space-filling and noncollapsing properties are developed in …

Abstract Space-filling designs are important in computer experiments, which are critical for
building a cheap surrogate model that adequately approximates an expensive computer …
