Optimal experimental design (OED) seeks experiments expected to yield the most useful data for some purpose. In practical circumstances where experiments are time-consuming or resource-intensive, OED can yield enormous savings. We pursue OED for nonlinear systems from a Bayesian perspective, with the goal of choosing experiments that are optimal for parameter inference. Our objective in this co...

Nowadays, Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) has become one of the most extensively used non-traditional material removal process. Its unique feature of using thermal energy to machine hard to machine electrically conductive materials is its distinctive advantage in the manufacturing of moulds, dies and aerospace components. Howevere, EDM is a costly process and hence proper selection of its ...
