In this paper, the direct differentiation of generalized-α time integration is derived, equations
are introduced and results are shown. Although generalized-α time integration has found …

Identifying regions of interest (RoI) in the design space is extremely useful while building
metamodels with limited computational budget. Self-organizing maps (SOM) are used as a …

Reducing the weight of a system leads to lower forces being exerted, which in turn allows for
lower requirements and an even lighter system. This “virtuous circle of lightweight …

The electrification of road vehicle powertrains has recently gained growing interest
worldwide as an effective solution to comply tightening regulations on CO2 emissions. In …

A framework for the integration of planning and scheduling using data-driven methodologies
is proposed. First, the constraints at the planning level related to the scheduling problem are …

Recent developments in the field of computational modeling of fracture have opened up
possibilities for designing structures against failure. A special case, called interfacial fracture …

Surrogate‐based traffic signal optimization (TSO) is a computationally efficient alternative to
simulation‐based TSO. By replacing the simulation‐based objective function, a surrogate …

Ship hull form design has an important influence on ship hydrodynamic performance.
Simulation-based design (SBD) technology opens up a new situation for ship hull form …

This paper introduces innovative sensitivity indices based on Cliff's Delta for the global
sensitivity analysis of structural reliability. These indices build on the Sobol'method, using …

This study develops a systematic design methodology based on data mining theory for
decision-making in the development of crashworthy vehicles. The new data mining …
