Abstract

The paper develops and implements a new and highly applicable framework for the computation of coupled Aero-Structural Design Optimization. The Multidisciplinary Aero-Structural Design Optimization is carried out and validated for a tested wing and can be easily extended for complex and practical design problems. Basically, the study utilized a high-fidelity Fluid/ Structure Interface and robust optimization algorithms for an accurate determination of the design with the best performances. The aerodynamic and structural performance measures, including the lift coefficient, the drag coefficient, the Von-Mises  stress and the weight of  wing, are precisely computed through the static aeroelastic analyses of various candidate wings. Based on these calculated performances, the design system can be approximated by using a Kriging interpolative model and improved at all disciplines by using Multi-objective Optimization Algorithms. The Multidisciplinary Aero-Structural Design is, therefore, desirable and practical.
