Response Surface Model Building and Multidisciplinary Optimization Using Overdetermined D-Optimal Designs
Resit Unal, Jr Roger A. Lepsch, L McMillin Mark · 1998
This paper discusses response surface methods for approximation model building and multidisciplinary design optimization. The response surface methods discussed are central composite designs, Bayesian methods and D-optimal designs. An over-determined D-optimal design is applied to a configuration design and optimization study of a wing-body, launch vehicle. Results suggest that over determined D-optimal designs may provide an efficient approach for approximation model building and for multidisciplinary design optimization.
