Interpretable SHAP-bounded Bayesian Optimization for Underwater Acoustic Metamaterial Coating Design

We developed an interpretability informed Bayesian optimization framework to optimize underwater acoustic coatings based on polyurethane elastomers with embedded metamaterial features. A data driven model was employed to analyze the relationship between acoustic performance, specifically sound absorption and the corresponding design variables. By leveraging SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), a machine learning interpretability tool, we identified … Read more

Constrained Bayesian Accelerated Design of Acoustic Polyurethane Coatings with Metamaterial Features Under Hydrostatic Pressure

Here we propose a novel, fully automated framework for accelerated design of underwater acoustic coatings, targeting the reduction of acoustic signature of naval platforms under operational conditions, by coupling Bayesian Optimization (BO) with a 2-step Finite Element Model (FEM). The developed FEMs evaluate the acoustic performance of polyurethane (PU) coatings with embedded metamaterial features under … Read more
