Abstract
The paper develops and implements a highly applicable framework for the computation of coupled aerostructural design optimization. The multidisciplinary aerostructural design optimization is carried out and validated for a tested wing and can be easily extended to complex and practical design problems. To make the framework practical, the study utilizes a high-fidelity fluid/structure interface and robust optimization algorithms for an accurate determination of the design with the best performance. The aerodynamic and structural performance measures, including the lift coefficient, the drag coefficient, Von-Mises stress and the weight of wing, are precisely computed through the static aeroelastic analyses of various candidate wings. Based on these calculated performance, the design system can be approximated by using a Kriging interpolative model. To improve the design evenly for aerodynamic and structure performance, an automatic design method that determines appropriate weighting factors is developed. Multidisciplinary aerostructural design is, therefore, desirable and practical.
