-In the structural optimization, the accuracy of approximation for the established mathematical model will directly affect the solution efficiency, even the convergence. The global optimization model based on the augmented Gaussian radial basis function h as a high approximation accuracy, but the solution efficiency will not be increased without a matched optimization algorithm. In this paper, we adopt the information at the interpolating points in large extent and the augmented Gaussian radial basis function to construct the approximate mathematical model. Using the explicit derivatives of the model for the sensitivities and sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm for the optimization solving, an efficient algorithm of global optimization is proposed. It is simple to be realized and converges quickly. Two examples will illustrate the stability and efficiency of the present algorithm.
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.
