Influence of Selection Criterion on the RBF Topology Selection for Crashworthiness Optimization

چکیده
Meta-models are frequently used to offset high computational cost of crashworthiness optimization problems. Radial basis function based meta-models are gaining popularity among various meta-modeling techniques due to their ability to approximate non-linear responses with relatively low fitting cost. However, the performance of RBF networks is very sensitive to the choice of topology. In this paper, the influence of three selection criteria namely, PRESS, pointwise PRESS error ratio, and estimated variance of noise, over network topology is studied. The results are demonstrated for a few analytical functions and a crashworthiness simulation of a full NHTSA vehicle problem. The results showed that the PRESS-based method was the most reliable method to select network topology.

Influence of Selection Criterion on RBF Topology Selection for Crashworthiness Optimization
The performance of radial basis function networks largely depends on the choice of topology i.e., location and number of centers, radius of influence. Thus finding the best network is a multi-level optimization problem. It is obvious that different criteria for optimization would result in different network topologies. A systematic study is carried out to compare the most widely used root mean ...
متن کاملPSO for multi-objective problems: Criteria for leader selection and uniformity distribution
This paper proposes a method to solve multi-objective problems using improved Particle Swarm Optimization. We propose leader particles which guide other particles inside the problem domain. Two techniques are suggested for selection and deletion of such particles to improve the optimal solutions. The first one is based on the mean of the m optimal particles and the second one is based on appoin...
متن کاملA Model Selection Criterion for Classification: Application to HMM Topology Optimization
This paper proposes a model selection criterion for classification problems. The criterion focuses on selecting models that are discriminant instead of models based on the Occam’s razor principle of parsimony between accurate modeling and complexity. The criterion, dubbed Discriminative Information Criterion (DIC), is applied to the optimization of Hidden Markov Model topology aimed at the reco...
متن کاملA comparative study of metamodeling methods for multiobjective crashworthiness optimization
The response surface methodology (RSM), which typically uses quadratic polynomials, is predominantly used for metamodeling in crashworthiness optimization because of the high computational cost of vehicle crash simulations. Research shows, however, that RSM may not be suitable for modeling highly nonlinear responses that can often be found in impact related problems, especially when using limit...
متن کاملA MULTI-OBJECTIVE OPTIMIZATION MODEL FOR PROJECT PORTFOLIO SELECTION CONSIDERING AGGREGATE COMPLEXITY: A CASE STUDY
Existing project selection models do not consider the complexity of projects as a selection criterion, while their complexity may prolong the project duration and even result in its failure. In addition, existing models cannot formulate the aggregate complexity of the selected projects. The aggregated complexity is not always equal to summation of complexity of projects because of possible syne...
