No mesh, nodal fields or load metadata

The result images and videos come from the public MIT-licensed output repository. The related geometry and calculation repository is public under a view-and-cite-only licence, so its code is deliberately not embedded or adapted here. The published assets do not include a solver version, boundary conditions, physical-time calibration, mesh or field data.

Case matrix & objective definitions

Use the original matrix to identify the design variables and constraints for each case.

Objectives

  • I/λ — geometric inertia per wavelength, associated with ECT.
  • A/λ — area per wavelength, associated with weight.
  • Ez — out-of-plane stiffness, associated with FCT.

Reading the matrix

Liner/flute thickness ranges, control points, curvature constraints and optimizer settings are defined in the matrix. Part B uses the separately published dimensionless study outputs.

Paper evidence audit

Gaussian-process sampling for corrugated boards

This panel transcribes the published design domain, response definitions and evaluation budget. It is source evidence, not a replay: the recorded optimization images above are not a Gaussian-process acquisition trace.

Review evidence map

How the recorded work fits the wider field

The 2023 review organizes corrugated-board optimization across history, manufacturing, structural design, objectives and algorithms. This map connects those review lenses to evidence already exposed in ProjectHub; it is not a solver, dataset or reproduced paper result.

Review · not a simulation

RQ1

Map the optimization methods used for corrugated board and their economic and environmental contribution.

RQ2

Trace how those methods evolved and identify the drivers behind the change.

RQ3

Identify state-of-the-art limitations that point to future optimization trends.

Five review lenses

  1. Early stages of corrugated-board optimization
  2. Advances in board design and manufacturing
  3. Structural design optimization
  4. Optimization objectives
  5. Numerical optimization algorithms

72-case recorded explorer →Recorded optimizer outputsThe source frames are not a dataset extracted from the review and do not prove coverage of every method it surveys.
Gaussian-process paper audit →Single-paper parameter and budget auditThe audit is not an EHVI replay and the recorded frames are not a Gaussian-process trace.
Corrugated-board FEM →Executed reduced model plus source-bounded FEM auditsReduced calculation, paper evidence and solver outputs remain separate evidence classes.
Findings and execution boundary
  • The reviewed field shifted from trial-and-error and expert-led practice towards data-centred computational methods.
  • Finite-element analysis, surrogate models and numerical algorithms broadened the available methods, without establishing one dominant approach.
  • Multidisciplinary methods entered from adjacent engineering fields.
  • The review identifies broader shape, topology, environmental and multi-objective treatment as areas needing further work.
