Goal-directed reproducible experimentation with simulation models is still a significant challenge. The underutilization of design of experiments, limited transparency in the collection and analysis of results, and ad-hoc adaptation of experiments as learning takes place continue to hamper reproducibility and hence cause a credibility gap. In this study, we propose a strategy that leverages the synergies between model-driven engineering, intelligent agent technology, and variability modeling to support the management of the lifecycle of a simulation experiment. Experiment design and workflow models are introduced for configurable experiment synthesis and execution. Feature-based variability modeling is used to design a family of experiments, which can be leveraged by ontology-driven software agents to configure, execute, and reproduce experiments. Online experiment adaptation is proposed as a strategy to facilitate dynamic experiment model updating as objectives shift from validation to variable screening, understanding, and optimization.

Large scale composite structures such as, wind turbine blades, boat hulls etc. are built using resin infusion processes. Infusion time is one of the key process parameters in resin infusion processes, critical not only for manufacturing yield and cost, but also for successfully filling of the part in the case of resins with very short gel time. Significant efforts are devoted to reduce the infusion time by trial and error approach, which has sizable cost implications, requires considerable time to develop a stable process, and doesn't lead to optimal solutions in many cases. Numerical approaches, such as infusion modeling, are gaining increasing acceptance in the composite industry to better tackle these challenges. modeling is helping to develop the manufacturing scheme and reducing the need for trial and error in process development. Increasing the number of resin channels in the flow path with sequential injection is frequently used to reduce the infusion time in wind turbine blade manufacturing. For scenarios where the permeability is changing along the flow path as driven by the preform layup, the challenge is to identify the optimum locations of the resin channels so that the lowest fill time can be achieved for a given number of resin channels. Developing optimum positioning of resin channels using finite element based flow software involves many of iterations and does not always ensure an optimum solution. In this work, an analytical framework is presented to optimize the resin channel locations, which would help eliminate need for iterative simulation process of complex geometries as in wind blades.

In this paper, computationally efficient multi-objective optimization of antenna structures is discussed. As a design case, we consider a multi-parameter planar Yagi-Uda antenna structure, featuring a driven element, three directors, and a feeding structure. Direct optimization of the high-fidelity electromagnetic (EM) antenna model is prohibitive in computational terms. Instead, our design methodology exploits response surface approximation (RSA) models constructed from sampled coarse-discretization EM simulation data. The RSA model is utilized to determine the Pareto optimal set of the best possible trade-offs between conflicting objectives. In order to alleviate the difficulties related to a large number of designable parameters, the RSA model is constructed in the initially reduced design space, where the lower/upper parameter bounds are estimated by solving appropriate single-objective problems resulting in identifying the extreme point of the Pareto set. The main optimization engine is multi-objective evolutionary algorithm (MOEA). Selected designs are subsequently refined using space mapping technique to obtain the final representation of the Pareto front at the high-fidelity EM antenna model level. The total design cost corresponds to less than two hundred of EM antenna simulations.

A technique for simulation-drivenoptimization of phase excitation tapers and spacings for linear arrays of microstrip antennas is presented. It exploits two models of the array under design: an array factor-based model and a simulation-based surrogate model. The former produces an initial design. The latter is used for tuning of the array radiation response as well as for validation of the final design. The simulation-based model is constructed as a superposition of simulated responses of the array under design. Low computational costs are ensured by coarse-mesh simulations. Suitable correction is carried out with respect to the high-fidelity array model. This correction is iteratively performed in the optimization process. Our technique is demonstrated with radiation response synthesis of linear arrays comprising thirty two microstrip patch antennas by phase-spacing optimization.

A methodology for computationally efficient simulation-driven design of microstrip antenna subarrays is presented. Our approach takes into account the effect of the feed (here, a corporate network) on the subarray side-lobe level and allows adjustment of both radiation and reflection responses of the structure under design within a single automated process. This process is realized as surrogate-based optimization that produces designs meeting requirements imposed on both radiation and reflection at the cost of just a few simulations of the high-fidelity model of the structure of interest. Selected optimal designs of microstrip subarrays operating at 10 GHz have been manufactured and validated by measuring their radiation patterns and reflection coefficients.

Engineering design optimization often involves computationally expensive time consuming simulations. Although surrogate-based optimization has been used to alleviate the problem to some extent, surrogate models (like Kriging) struggle as the dimensionality of the problem increases to medium-scale. The enormity of the design space in higher dimensions (above ten) makes the search for optima challenging and time consuming. This paper proposes the use of probabilistic support vector machine classifiers to reduce the search space for optimization. The proposed technique transforms the optimization problem into a binary classification problem to differentiate between feasible (likely containing the optima) and infeasible (not likely containing the optima) regions. A model-driven sampling scheme selects batches of probably-feasible samples while reducing the search space. The result is a reduced subspace within which existing optimization algorithms can be used to find the optima. The technique is validated on analytical benchmark problems.
