Abstract Both empirical and mechanistic models are needed to design complex engineering systems. Empirical models play a particularly important role in design especially at the early stage. Large amounts of information, in terms of prior knowledge and experimental data, are needed for statistical analysis and machine learning methods to build empirical models with high quality. However, in some engineering domains, such as vehicle bumper system design, information is very limited due to the time/cost constraints and unknown physics of the problem. Methods are needed to construct reliable empirical models with limited amounts of available information. An Evolutionary Modeling Approach (EMA) has been developed as a first attempt to address this problem. In this approach, empirical model construction is viewed as a multistage, iterative learning process, in which the inaccurate and/or incomplete models gradually evolve into more accurate ones through a heuristically guided data selection procedure. This paper describes the EMA methodology and its initial application to an automotive bumper design and analysis problem.
