This book presents the first "How To" guide to the use of radial
basis functions (RBF). It provides a clear vision of their
potential, an overview of ready-for-use computational tools and
precise guidelines to implement new engineering applications of
RBF. Radial basis functions (RBF) are a mathematical tool mature
enough for useful engineering applications. Their mathematical
foundation is well established and the tool has proven to be
effective in many fields, as the mathematical framework can be
adapted in several ways. A candidate application can be faced
considering the features of RBF: multidimensional space (including
2D and 3D), numerous radial functions available, global and compact
support, interpolation/regression. This great flexibility makes RBF
attractive - and their great potential has only been partially
discovered. This is because of the difficulty in taking a first
step toward RBF as they are not commonly part of engineers'
cultural background, but also due to the numerical complexity of
RBF problems that scales up very quickly with the number of RBF
centers. Fast RBF algorithms are available to alleviate this and
high-performance computing (HPC) can provide further aid.
Nevertheless, a consolidated tradition in using RBF in engineering
applications is still missing and the beginner can be confused by
the literature, which in many cases is presented with language and
symbolisms familiar to mathematicians but which can be cryptic for
engineers. The book is divided in two main sections. The first
covers the foundations of RBF, the tools available for their quick
implementation and guidelines for facing new challenges; the second
part is a collection of practical RBF applications in engineering,
covering several topics, including response surface interpolation
in n-dimensional spaces, mapping of magnetic loads, mapping of
pressure loads, up-scaling of flow fields, stress/strain analysis
by experimental displacement fields, implicit surfaces, mesh to cad
deformation, mesh morphing for crack propagation in 3D, ice and
snow accretion using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) data, shape
optimization for external aerodynamics, and use of adjoint data for
surface sculpting. For each application, the complete path is
clearly and consistently exposed using the systematic approach
defined in the first section.
