Surrogate modeling techniques are widely used to replace the computationally expensive black-box functions in engineering. As a combination of individual surrogate models, an ensemble of surrogates is preferred due to its strong robustness. However, how to select the best quantity and variety of surrogates for an ensemble has always been a challenging task. In this work, five popular surrogate modeling techniques including polynomial response surface (PRS), radial basis functions (RBF), kriging (KRG), Gaussian process (GP) and linear shepard (SHEP) are considered as the basic surrogate models, resulting in twenty-six ensemble models by using a previously presented weights selection method. The best ensemble model is expected to be found by comparative studies on prediction accuracy and robustness. By testing eight mathematical problems and two engineering examples, we found that: (1) in general, using as many accurate surrogates as possible to construct ensemble models will improve the prediction performance and (2) ensemble models can be used as an insurance rather than offering significant improvements. Moreover, the ensemble of three surrogates PRS, RBF and KRG is preferred based on the prediction performance. The results provide engineering practitioners with guidance on the superior choice of the quantity and variety of surrogates for an ensemble.

Modeling Techniques

Hybrid simulation is a method used to investigate the dynamic response of a system subjected to a realistic loading scenario. The system under consideration is divided into multiple individual substructures, out of which one or more are tested physically, whereas the remaining are simulated numerically. The coupling of all substructures forms the so-called hybrid model. Although hybrid simulation is extensively used across various engineering disciplines, it is often the case that the hybrid model and related excitation are conceived as being deterministic. However, associated uncertainties are present, whilst simulation deviation, due to their presence, could be significant. In this regard, global sensitivity analysis based on Sobol’ indices can be used to determine the sensitivity of the hybrid model response due to the presence of the associated uncertainties. Nonetheless, estimation of the Sobol’ sensitivity indices requires an unaffordable amount of hybrid simulation evaluations. Therefore, surrogate modeling techniques using machine learning data-driven regression are utilized to alleviate this burden. This study extends the current global sensitivity analysis practices in hybrid simulation by employing various different surrogate modeling methodologies as well as providing comparative results. In particular, polynomial chaos expansion, Kriging and polynomial chaos Kriging are used. A case study encompassing a virtual hybrid model is employed, and hybrid model response quantities of interest are selected. Their respective surrogates are developed, using all three aforementioned techniques. The Sobol’ indices obtained utilizing each examined surrogate are compared with each other, and the results highlight potential deviations when different surrogates are used.

Purpose – Strategies for accelerated multi-objective optimization of compact microwave and RF structures are investigated, including the possibility of exploiting surrogate modeling techniques for electromagnetic (EM)-driven design speedup for such components. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – Two algorithmic frameworks are described that are based on fast response surface approximation models, structure decomposition, and Pareto front refinement. Numerical case studies are provided demonstrating feasibility of solving real-world problems involving multi-objective optimization of miniaturized microwave passives and expensive EM-simulation models of such structures. Findings – It is possible, through appropriate combination of the surrogate modeling techniques and response correction methods, to identify the set of alternative designs representing the best possible trade-offs between conflicting design objectives in a realistic time frame corresponding to a few dozen of high-fidelity EM simulations of the respective structures. Research limitations/implications – The present study sets a direction for further studied on expedited optimization of computationally expensive simulation models for miniaturized microwave components. Originality/value – The proposed algorithmic framework proved useful for fast design of microwave structures, which is extremely challenging when using conventional methods. To the authors’ knowledge, this is one of the first attempts to surrogate-assisted multi-objective optimization of compact components at the EM-simulation level.
