Concurrent Aerodynamic Shape / Cost Design Of Magnetic Levitation Vehicles Using Multidisciplinary Design Optimization Techniques
A multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) methodology is developed to link the aerodynamic shape design to the system costs for magnetically levitated (MAGLEV) vehicles. These railed vehicles can cruise at speeds approaching that of short haul aircraft and travel just inches from a guideway. The...
