Optimization of an Engine Air Intake System for Minimum Noise Tansmission Using Function Approximation Concepts

  • Conference paper
Book cover Stochastic Programming Methods and Technical Applications

Abstract

Response surface methods are used to construct explicit approximations of objective and constraint functions in optimization problems. Serving as interface between analysis code and optimization algorithm, the function approximations provide a fast but approximate evaluation of response quantities in the optimization process. Application to the quiet design of an engine air intake system is discussed.
