Surrogate models expedite the search for promising designs by
standing in for expensive design evaluations or simulations. They
provide a global model of some metric of a design (such as weight,
aerodynamic drag, cost, etc.), which can then be optimized
efficiently.
"Engineering Design via Surrogate Modelling" is a self-contained
guide to surrogate models and their use in engineering design. The
fundamentals of building, selecting, validating, searching and
refining a surrogate are presented in a manner accessible to
novices in the field. Figures are used liberally to explain the key
concepts and clearly show the differences between the various
techniques, as well as to emphasize the intuitive nature of the
conceptual and mathematical reasoning behind them.
More advanced and recent concepts are each presented in
stand-alone chapters, allowing the reader to concentrate on
material pertinent to their current design problem, and concepts
are clearly demonstrated using simple design problems. This
collection of advanced concepts (visualization, constraint
handling, coping with noisy data, gradient-enhanced modelling,
multi-fidelity analysis and multiple objectives) represents an
invaluable reference manual for engineers and researchers active in
the area.
"Engineering Design via Surrogate Modelling" is complemented by
a suite of Matlab codes, allowing the reader to apply all the
techniques presented to their own design problems. By applying
statistical modelling to engineering design, this book bridges the
wide gap between the engineering and statistics communities. It
will appeal to postgraduates and researchers across the academic
engineering design community as well aspractising design
engineers.
Provides an inclusive and practical guide to using surrogates in
engineering design. Presents the fundamentals of building,
selecting, validating, searching and refining a surrogate model.
Guides the reader through the practical implementation of a
surrogate-based design process using a set of case studies from
real engineering design challenges.
