(HBCU) Development and Application of a Biologically Inspired Methodology for the Optimized, Multi-Disciplinary and Multi-Objective Design of Air Vehicles

Abstract

The main accomplishments of this project are: (1) The development and testing of an MOO methodology for multiply-connected domains and its application to concurrent optimization of sub-system placement and structural topology; (2) Use of control laws and morphogenesis modelling for topology optimization; and (3) Application of the methodology developed to simultaneous optimization of an MAV compliant flapping mechanism and wing topology for a MAV in flapping wing configuration.
