The paper deals with the strength design of an automotive knuckle component under bump and brake loading conditions. The design problem is formulated such that cross-sectional sizing variables are determined by minimizing the weight of a knuckle component subject to stresses, deformations, and frequency constraints. The initial design model is generated on the basis of an actual vehicle specification. The finite element analysis is conducted using ABAQUS, and optimal solutions are obtained via the moving least-squares method (MLSM) in the context of response-surface-based approximate optimization. For the meta-modelling of inequality constraint functions such as stresses, deformations, and frequency, a constraint-feasible moving least-squares method (CF-MLSM) is suggested in the present study. The method of CF-MLSM, compared with a conventional MLSM, has been shown to ensure the constraint feasibility in a case where the approximate optimization process is employed. The solution results from proposed optimization methods present improved design performances under both bump and brake conditions.

A comparative study of various metamodelling approaches namely the least squares method (LSM), moving least squares method (MLSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) based response surface method (RSM) are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness to approximate the nonlinear dynamic response of structure required for efficient seismic reliability analysis (SRA) of structures. The seismic response approximation by the LSM, MLSM and ANN based RSMs are explained with a brief note on the important issue of ground motion bin generation. The procedure adopted herein for SRA is based on the dual response surface approach. In doing so, the repetition of seismic intensity for SRA at different intensity levels is avoided by including this as one of the predictors in the seismic response prediction model. A nonlinear SDOF system has been taken up to elucidate the effectiveness of various metamodels in SRA.

This paper presents a new method to construct response surface function and a new hybrid optimization method. For the response surface function, the radial basis function is used for a zeroth-order approximation, while new bases is proposed for the moving least squares method for a first-order approximation. For the new hybrid optimization method, the gradient-based algorithm and pattern search algorithm are integrated for robust and efficient optimization process. These methods are based on: (1) multi-point approximations of the objective and constraint functions; (2) a multi-quadric radial basis function for the zeroth-order function representation or radial basis function plus polynomial based moving least squares approximation for the first-order function approximation; and (3) a pattern search algorithm to impose a descent condition. Several numerical examples are presented to illustrate the accuracy and computational efficiency of the proposed method for both function approximation and design optimization. The examples for function approximation indicate that the multi-quadric radial basis function and the proposed radial basis function plus polynomial based moving least squares method can yield accurate estimates of arbitrary multivariate functions. Results also show that the hybrid method developed provides efficient and convergent solutions to both mathematical and structural optimization problems.

The moving least squares (MLS) method has been developed for the fitting of measured data contaminated with random error. The local approximants of MLS method only take the error of dependent variable into account, whereas the independent variable of measured data always contains random error. Considering the errors of all variables, this paper presents an improved moving least squares (IMLS) method to generate curve and surface for the measured data. In IMLS method, total least squares (TLS) with a parameterλbased on singular value decomposition is introduced to the local approximants. A procedure is developed to determine the parameterλ. Numerical examples for curve and surface fitting are given to prove the performance of IMLS method.
