Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Tech Transfer
Dynamic ASE Modeling and Optimization of Aircraft with SpaRibs, Phase I
Project Introduction
We propose development and demonstration of a dynamic aeroservoelastic modeling and optimization system based on curvilinear internal structural arrangements of variable topology. This will allow combined sizing and topology optimization of complete airplane configurations including aeroservoelastic performance.
