What is it about?
The typical method for processing medical waste involves a sterilization-based shredding system. However, these systems are often overly designed and lack optimization based on each facility's capacity. To address this challenge, a data-driven metamodel-based sensitivity analysis and design optimization approach is proposed.

Why is it important?
The proposed method used Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) to construct an efficient metamodel encompassing all relevant information about the design space. This metamodel, generated from finite element analysis (FEA) data, serves as an effective stress estimation tool. This stress estimation model was used to perform global sensitivity analysis (GSA) and optimization processes.
Perspectives
The proposed approach significantly reduces the number of simulations required for sensitivity analysis, leading to a substantial decrease in computational time. The optimization is demonstrated for shredders with two different shredding capacities, which showed significant weight savings.
