The increasing complexity of engineering systems has sparked rising interest in
multidisciplinary optimization (MDO). This paper surveys recent publications in the field of …

Eigenvalue and eigenvector derivatives with respect to system design variables and their
applications have been and continue to be one of the core issues in the design, control and …

An exact analysis of a piezoelectric plate under cylindrical bending is presented. The
solutions for deformations, stresses, electric potential and electric displacement of a simply …

Fictitious masses are used to improve the accuracy and efficiency of modal-based structural
analyses that involve substructure synthesis, local excitation, and local structural changes …

Linear structural dynamics, unsteady aerodynamics, control system, and actuator models
are combined for linear aeroservoelastic equations of motion that are augmented with …

The effects of surface roughness on the aerodynamic performance of turbine airfoils are
investigated with different inlet turbulence intensity levels of 0.9%, 5.5% and 16.2%. Three …

Reduced-size aeroservoelastic equations of motion are constructed and used for stability
analysis and maneuver simulations with control-surface actuator nonlinearity caused by free …

A control‐augmented structural synthesis methodology is presented in which actuator and
sensor placement is treated in terms of (0, 1) variables. Structural member sizes and control …

THE common approach for formulating the equations of motion of aeroelastic systems starts
with a normal modes analysis of the structural model. l Unsteady aerodynamic force …

In this study, we investigate the buckling of a column made of functionally graded materials
in axial direction. The column is simply supported at both ends. The mode shape is …
