Structural optimization for a jaw using iterative Kriging metamodels

Abstract: Rail clamps are mechanical components installed to fix the container crane to its lower members against wind blast or slip. Rail clamps should be designed to survive harsh wind loading conditions. In this study, a jaw structure, which is a part of a wedge-typed rail clamp, is optimized with respect to its strength under a severe wind loading condition. According to the classification of structural optimization, the structural optimization of a jaw is included in the category of shape optimization. Conventional… Show more

“…The zero-order method, due to its independency from using derivatives of the problem variables, is the first candidate for the optimization subroutine. It can be efficiently applied to most engineering problems (Zhang, Zhu, and Zhao 2010;Bang et al 2008). The shape or material design optimization problem can generally be formulated as a constrained minimization problem as following (Zhang et al 2012):…”

“…Most methods for efficient reliability analysis and optimisation follow a framework composed of an initial sampling strategy, a rule for selecting new points and a stopping criterion. To that effect, different initial sampling strategies are presented in [12][13][14][15][16]. The approach proposed in this paper uses Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) by McKay et al [17], which is widely used in surrogate modelling.…”

“…Equations (6)-(7) can be calculated using sampling methods such as MCS with large computational cost. The Kriging surrogate model [12,13] can be employed to reduce the cost for uncertainty propagation. With training observations, the response and predicted mean square error for any given new point x can be expressed aŝ…”
