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 ...
IMAGE: A Design Integration Framework Applied to the High Speed Civil Transport
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1994-12)
Effective design of the High Speed Civil Transport requires the systematic application of design resources throughout a product's life-cycle. Information obtained from the use of these resources is used for the decision-making ...
A Hierarchical Aircraft Life Cycle Cost Analysis Model
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1995-09)
This paper presents an exploratory study for identification and quantification of the economic benefits or implications associated with wing cost variations. A hierarchical cost model structure is used to determine life ...
An Application of Artificial Intelligence for Computer-Aided Design and Manufacturing
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1995-07)
The knowledge required to integrate aircraft manufacturing characteristics and constraints into the structural design process is beyond the proficiency of a single engineer. Concurrent Engineering (CE) enables the integration ...
A Stochastic Design Approach for Aircraft Affordability
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1998-09)
A novel approach to assessing aircraft system feasibility and viability over time is presented, with special emphasis on modeling and estimating the impact of new technologies. The approach is an integral part of an overall ...
Effect of Mission Requirements on the Economic Robustness of an HSCT Concept
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1996-06)
Design for robustness and its subset design for economic robustness and viability are two areas in current design methodology and optimization research attracting a lot of attention, as the increasing number of publications ...
A Method for Technology Selection Based on Benefit, Available Schedule and Budget Resources
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2000-10)
The accepted paradigm in aerospace systems design was to design systems sequentially and iteratively to maximize performance based on minimum weight. The traditional paradigm does not work in the rapidly changing global ...
Analysis of Advanced Technology Impact on HSCT Engine Cycle Performance
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1999-06)
The objective of this paper is to describe and apply methods that could assist the propulsion system designer in the evaluation and selection of propulsion technologies. The focus here is on the aerothermo-dynamic aspects ...
New Approaches to Conceptual and Preliminary Aircraft Design: A Comparative Assessment of a Neural Network Formulation and a Response Surface Methodology
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 1998-09)
This paper critically evaluates the use of Neural Networks (NNs) as metamodels for design applications. The specifics of implementing a NN approach are researched and discussed, including the type and architecture appropriate ...
