High-Dimensional Bayesian Optimisation with Large-Scale Constraints - An Application to Aeroelastic Tailoring

Design optimisation potentially leads to lightweight aircraft structures with lower environmental impact. Due to the high number of design variables and constraints, these problems are ordinarily solved using gradient-based optimisation methods, leading to a local solution in the design space while the global space is neglected. Bayesian...

Simultaneous Layout, Sizing and Topology Optimization of Stiffened Panels using CAD-based Parameterization

In this paper, an innovative design methodology is proposed to simultaneously optimize the size, layout, and number of stiffeners of a stiffened panel using a gradient-based optimizer. In the proposed method, CAD-based parameterization is used to parameterize the layout of the stiffeners. The location and orientation of each stiffener are...
