A Scalable, Parallel Approach for Multi-point, High-fidelity Aerostructural Optimization of Aircraft Configurations

This thesis presents new tools and techniques developed to address the challenging problem of high-fidelity aerostructural optimization with respect to large numbers of design variables. A new mesh-movement scheme is developed that is both computationally efficient and sufficiently robust to accommo...
