Abstract
This thesis presents a framework for generating Design of Experiments within mixed variable, constrained design spaces representative of aircraft operational flight envelopes. By explicitly modelling the feasible design space using simplicial meshes, the proposed methodology eliminates inefficient sampling outside the valid region while supporting continuous, discrete, and categorical variables. The framework was validated on an aircraft loads assessment case and evaluated using different meshing approaches. The results demonstrate improved computational efficiency and scalability, while highlighting the limitations of Monte Carlo sampling for accurately capturing extreme structural loads.
