NICOP - Stochastic SBD for Reduction of Added-Powering/Motions/Slamming for Surface Ships in Real Seas
Abstract
The project addresses the development of high-fidelity stochastic simulation-based design (SBD) methodologies for challenging real-world applications. The focus is on (1) design space variability breakdown and dimensionality reduction, (2) dynamic metamodels for uncertainty quantification (UQ) and optimization; (3) global optimization algorithms, addressing continuous distributions of environmental/operational conditions. Since the early design phase, a significant portion of the operating envelope of complex naval systems is optimized under a variety of conditions, meeting the interests of the “Platform Design and Survivability” US Naval S&T Focus Area. The research will be conducted with the University of Iowa, and in collaboration with NATO STO ET-142 “Stochastic Design Optimization for Naval and Aero Military Vehicles”. The project outcomes include algorithms, tools, and conference/journal papers.
