Numerical Optimization applied to structure sizing at AIRBUS: A multi-step process

Structure optimization at airframe level is mainly focused on sizing design variables detailing the thin-walled properties of aircraft structures. Typical design variables are cross sectional dimensions for 1D and 2D elements with an additional complexity brought by composite materials with their di...
