Multidisciplinary design optimization is a field of research that studies the application of
numerical optimization techniques to the design of engineering systems involving multiple …

The aim of this paper is to present the most common practices in multidisciplinary design
optimization (MDO) of aerial vehicles over the past decade. The literature sample is …

The solution of complex system design problems using decomposition-based optimization
methods requires determination of appropriate problem partitioning and coordination …

Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit dem Flugzeuggesamtentwurf und der Anwendung
hybrider laminarer Strömungskontrolle (HLFC) auf Flügel und Leitwerke. Hierzu wird eine …

A simulation-based approach for take-off and landing performance assessments is
presented in this work. In the context of aircraft design loops, it provides a detailed and …

Astute choices made early in the design process provide the best opportunity for reducing
the life cycle cost of a new product. Optimal decisions require reasonably detailed …

The benefits of a family of macroscale reconfigurable unmanned aerial vehicles to meet
distinct flight requirements are readily evident. The reconfiguration capability of an …

Finding the near-native structure of a protein is one of the most important open problems in
structural biology and biological physics. The problem becomes dramatically more difficult …

Tensile loading of the human cervical spine results from noncontact inertial loading of the
head as well as mandibular and craniofacial impacts. Current vehicle safety standards …

Commercial aircraft family design can reduce development costs, shorten development
cycles, and expand the market coverage of aircraft. Commercial aircraft family development …
