Towards multifidelity uncertainty quantification for multiobjective structural design

This thesis aims at Multi-Objective Optimization under Uncertainty in structural design. We investigate Polynomial Chaos Expansion (PCE) surrogates which require extensive training sets. We then face two issues: high computational costs of an individual Finite Element simulation and its limited precision. From numerical point of view and in order to limit the computational expense of the PCE construction we particularly focus on sparse PCE schemes. We also develop a custom Latin Hypercube Sampling scheme taking into account the finite precision of the simulation. From the modeling point of view,we propose a multifidelity approach involving a hierarchy of models ranging from full scale simulations through reduced order physics up to response surfaces. Finally, we investigate multiobjective optimization of structures under uncertainty. We extend the PCE model of design objectives by taking into account the design variables. We illustrate our work with examples in sheet metal forming and optimal design of truss structures.
