Response Surface Models (RSM) based on data from designed numerical experiments are useful as approximation models in Engineering Optimization. Their construction can be enhanced by the inclusion of design sensitivity data. In this short paper we discuss two strategies to accomplish this. We compare both strategies in a numerical example and draw some general conclusions regarding their practical value.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
