Multi-Level Optimal Design Using Game Theory With Model Updating By Low Discrepancy Sampling, Yanchen Xu

Theses and Dissertations

The Design of Experiment (DOE) based response surface methodology (RSM) is a commonly used technique for solving optimization problems. The traditional DOE method has some shortcomings when used to update the RSM model. This thesis aims to develop a new DOE technique to solve the model updating problems in design optimization. Toward this end, a new DOE based RSM method is proposed to solve this problem by using low-discrepancy sequence method to generate the additional data points needed to update the model to replace the traditional factor and level based DOE method.

Tested on a couple of numerical example problems, …
