About this title

Synopsis

A guide to surrogate models and their use in engineering design. It presents the fundamentals of building, selecting, validating, searching and refining a surrogate. It guides the reader through the practical implementation of a surrogate-based design process using a set of case studies from real engineering design challenges.

About the Author

Dr. Alexander I. J. Forrester is Lecturer in Engineering Design at the University of Southampton. His main area of research focuses on improving the efficiency with which expensive analysis (particularly computational fluid dynamics) is used in design. His techniques have been applied to wing aerodynamics, satellite structures, sports equipment design, and Formula One automobile racing.

Dr. András Sóbester is an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council / Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellow in the School of Engineering Sciences at the University of Southampton. His research interests include aircraft design, aerodynamic shape parameterization and optimization, and engineering design technology in general.

Professor Andy J. Keane holds the Chair of Computational Engineering at the University of Southampton and leads its Computational Engineering and Design Research Group. His principal focus is on the design of aerospace systems using computational methods. He has published over two hundred papers and three books in this area, many of which deal with surrogate modelling. He has studied design problems for three decades, including the concept design of warships and the use of modern stochastic methods in structural design, as well as the fundamentals underpinning these methods. He is also Director of the UKs Southern Regional e-Science Centre, which is active in industrial
