A Heuristic Approach to Finding the Preferred Design Variable Parameterization for Optimization
Jeffrey D. Sinsay, Juan Jose Alonso · 57th AIAA/ASCE/AHS/ASC Structures, Structural Dynamics, and Materials Conference · 2016
An approach to addressing optimization’s curse of dimensionality that alters the design variable parametrization as optimization proceeds is described. An evolutionary strategy is applied to nding a preferred variable length vector of design parameters. Rules for this strategy are described. Extension of this method to a multidisciplinary rotorcraft vehicle design problem is described.
