Development of a Methodology for the Determination of Technical Feasibility and Viability of Affordable Rotorcraft Systems
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1998-05)
This paper describes a probabilistic design approach which has been formulated from an affordability viewpoint for the assessment of rotorcraft systems. This method places emphasis on the ability to rapidly examine the ...
HSCT Wing Design through Multilevel Decomposition
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1995-09)
A multilevel decomposition approach for the preliminary design of a High Speed Civil Transport Aircraft wing structure is described. The wing design is decomposed into three levels. The top level uses the FLOPS aircraft ...
Application of Probabilistic Methods for the Determination of an Economically Robust HSCT Configuration
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1996-09)
This paper outlines an approach for the determination of economically viable robust design solutions using the High Speed Civil Transport (HSCT) as a case study. Furthermore, the paper states the advantages of a probability ...
Probabilistic Assessment of Handling Qualities Constraints in Aircraft Preliminary Design
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1998-01)
A method is introduced and demonstrated which uses parametric stability derivative data (in the form of regression equations) and probabilistic analysis techniques to evaluate the impact of uncertainty on the handling ...
Implementing an IPPD Environment from a Decision-Based Design Perspective
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1995-05)
Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD) embodies the simultaneous application of both system and quality engineering methods throughout an iterative design process. The use of IPPD results in the time-conscious, ...
Techniques for Integrating Computer Programs into Design Architectures
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1996-09)
The benefits of using modular computer architectures for multi-disciplinary design are being explored by industry, government, and academia. These architectures are being validated through a considerable number of in-house ...
The Implementation of a Conceptual Aerospace Systems Design and Analysis Toolkit
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1999-10)
The Conceptual Aerospace Systems Design and Analysis Toolkit (CASDAT) provides a baseline assessment capability for the Air Force Research Laboratory. The historical development of CASDAT is of benefit to the design research ...
A Probabilistic Approach to UCAV Engine Sizing
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1998-07)
This paper describes a probabilistic approach to aircraft engine thrust sizing which is intended to assist the designer in making decisions during the very early stages of the design process when the operational concept ...
Use of Agents to Implement an Integrated Computing Environment
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1995-03)
Integrated Product and Process Development (IPPD) embodies the simultaneous application of both system and quality engineering methods throughout an iterative design process. The use of IPPD results in the time-conscious, ...
A Lean-Server Approach to Enabling Collaboration Using Advanced Design Methods
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1999-09)
The design framework research community utilizes the internet as a facilitator for collaborative activities. The internet provides a platform independent interface and geographic distribution. Information can be easily ...
