The maximum ground surface settlement prediction is a complex problem as the settlement
depends on plenty of intrinsic and extrinsic factors. To obtain the approximate range of the …

Surrogate-based optimization methods are usually employed to solve expensive black-box
optimization problems. Constraints bring more challenges for optimization than …

Engine knock is an undesirable combustion that could damage the engine mechanically. On
the other hand, it is often desired to operate the engine close to its borderline knock limit to …

A surrogate-assisted optimization approach is an attractive way to reduce the total
computational budget for obtaining optimal solutions. This makes it special for its application …

Advances in modeling and computation have resulted in high-fidelity digital twins capable of
simulating the dynamics of a wide range of industrial systems. These simulation models …

The real-time prediction of tunnel boring machine (TBM) driving parameters is a critical step
during the process of tunnel excavation. To obtain the dynamic characteristics and the …

Spark ignition engines are often desired to be operated close to its knock borderline limit,
when MBT (maximum brake torque) cannot be achieved, to optimize engine efficiency …

An engine is a complex system that requires a control strategy to perform optimally and
reliably. The majority of the existing system uses a lookup table-based control strategy, also …

Complex constrained global optimization problems such as optimal actuators placement are
extremely challenging. Such challenges, including nonlinearity and nonstationarity of …

Parallel manipulators are increasingly applied because of their high stiffness, load capacity,
and motion precision. However, the workspace of a parallel manipulator is relatively small …
