Printed on acid-free paper 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 springer.com Preface Computersimulationaswellasnumericalmodellingandoptimizationarebe- coming a commonplace in contemporary engineering and science. The com- plexityofthesystemsconsideredinvariousfieldshasbeenconstantlygrowing over the years and the theoretical models offer more and more accurate de- scription of the physical phenomena, structures and devices. However, most of these models are far too complicated to be handled through analytical solutions;computer simulationis requiredfor a majority of real-worldappli- cations not only to evaluate the model but also to exploit it in the design process. Advanced state-of-the-art commercial simulation software packages are available and used in everyday design work in mechanical engineering, civilengineering,aerospaceindustry,electricalengineering,andmanyothers. Computational optimization has become an essential and, in many cases, critical component of the design process. In almost all applications in engi- neering and industry it is necessary to maximize performance and efficiency while minimizing the cost, size, weight, or energy consumption at the same time. This is usually a complex task that involves manipulation of available design parameters in order to find satisfactory values of one or more objec- tives that are evaluated through often computationally expensive computer simulation. In many cases, complex constraints have to be satisfied in the optimization process. Thereareseveralfactorsduetowhichthesearchforoptimaldesigncanbe complicatedevenfurther.Oneofthemisthepresenceofuncertaintiesthatis common for most real-world systems. In particular, material properties and geometryofthemanufactureddevicemaydifferfromtheirnominalvaluesasa resultoffabricationtolerances.Therefore,theoptimizationprocessmayseek for the robust design which ensures the highest probability of satisfying the performancerequirementsunderthepresenceofuncertaintiesratherthanjust for the optimal design. Many optimization problems are nonlinear and NP- hard,thatis,thesolutiontimeforfindingoptimaldesigngrowsexponentially with the problem size. In some cases the designer may face multiple local optima and the global search procedures are necessary. On the other hand, many practical problems have multiple and competing objectives where the VI Preface best design is obtained through a decision-making process based on a set of Pareto-optimalsolutions. The dependence of contemporary engineering design on computer simula- tions introduces additional difficulties to optimization. Growing demand for accuracy and ever-increasing complexity of structures and systems result in the simulation process being more and more time consuming. In many engi- neeringfields,theevaluationofasingledesigncantakeaslongasseveraldays or even weeks so that straightforwardapproaches by employing high-fidelity simulator directly in the optimization loop are prohibitive. Interestingly, the increasing computational power of today’s computers does not alleviate this problem because the availability of faster computers is compromised by the tendency of simulating more and more complex structures and systems with higher and higher accuracy. On the other hand, simulation-based objective functions are inherently noisy, which makes the optimization process even more difficult. Still, simulation-driven design becomes a must for growing number of areas, which creates a need for robust and efficient optimization methodologiesthat canyield satisfactorydesigns evenat the presence of an- alyticallyintractableobjectivesandlimited computationalresources.Inpar- ticular, any technique that improves the efficiency of simulators or reduces the function evaluation count is crucially important. Surrogate-based and knowledge-based optimization uses certain approximations to the objective soastoreducethecostofobjectiveevaluations.Theapproximationsareoften local,whilethequalityofapproximationsisevolvingastheiterationsproceed. Extensive research conducted in the area of computational optimization and modeling resulted in many techniques that alleviate the difficulties of traditionaldesign optimizationmethodologies.Many of these techniques ad- dress particular issues, such as multiple local optima, multiple objectives or handling computationally expensive cost functions. Substantial progress has been observedin the developmentof derivative-freeoptimization techniques, the use of adjoint sensitivities, as well as methods exploiting surrogatemod- els, both function-approximation- and physically-based.
