- The study introduces a framework for modeling streamlined design variables in multidisciplinary engineering systems. These systems often deal with uncertainties, and correlated design variables can lead to data redundancy, which affects system response predictions.
- To address this issue, the framework employs data reduction techniques based on the entropy-based correlation coefficient (referred to as “e”). There are two distinct approaches:
- For strong correlations (high e values), feature extraction is used.
- For weak correlations (low e values), feature selection is employed.
- Additionally, the study integrates an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to efficiently predict complex responses.
- The framework’s efficacy is demonstrated through Multiphysics applications such as an electro-mechanical stretchable patch antenna. The antenna’s performance is influenced by the roughness of its patch surface, which exhibits a strong correlation.
