Multidisciplinary Design and Optimization Framework for Aircraft Box Structures

Competitive aircraft box structures are a perfect compromise between weight and price. The conceptual design process of these structures is a typical Multidisciplinary Design and Optimization effort, normally conducted by human engineers. The iterative nature of MDO turns development into a long and costly process. Knowledge-Based Engineering...

Capturing the switch between point tracking and boundary avoiding pilot behaviour in a PIO event

Aerodynamic shape parameterisation and optimisation of novel configurations

The Multi-Disciplinary Design Optimisation (MDO) process can be supported by partial automation of analysis and optimisation steps. Design and Engineering Engines (DEE) are useful concepts to structure this type of automation. Within the DEE, a product can be parameterically defined using Knowledge Based Engineering (KBE). This parameteric...
