Application of a Structural Optimization Procedure for Advanced Wings,

Abstract

A computer software system called ASAT exists at MBB which allows an automatic design of minimum weight structures. In this paper, the application of this system to several structures is described. It is shown that a structural optimization system can be very useful in the preliminary design of an airplane, especially when it consists of several modules such as static load calculation, deformations and stress calculation by finite elements, static aeroelastics, weight calculation, unsteady aerodynamic forces, vibration calculation, flutter calculation, flutter and strength optimization which all can be used separately and independently.
