The proposal of investigations of soft organic soils in a new calibration chamber performed at the Rzeszow University of Technology has been presented in this paper.The unique feature of this chamber is the possibility of simultaneous soil testing with the use of two penetrometers: FVT (Field Vane Test) and DPL (Dynamic galaxy harmony nc Probing Li

ObjectivesThe cabin-skeleton coupling structure of a blended-wing-body underwater glider is optimized using a data-driven discrete optimization concept.MethodsFirst, a Kriging-assisted discrete global optimization algorithm (KDGO) is proposed for computationally expensive black-box problems.The KDGO uses a novel infill-sampling 9002nc strategy to c
