Launching satellites into the Earth's orbit is a critical area of research, and very demanding
satellite services increase exponentially as modern society takes shape. At the same time …

In practical engineering, the layout optimization technique driven by the thermal
performance is faced with a severe computational burden when directly integrating the …

Abstract An Underwater Data Center (UDC) is an underwater vessel full of computing
servers and designed with a cooling system using cold water in the ocean. A UDC vessel is …

The truss-braced-wing (TBW) aircraft is a promising innovative design for the next-
generation airliner. Nevertheless, for a full TBW wing–body–tail configuration, it is still a …

Satellite layout optimization design problems with complicated performance constraints are
studied in this paper. In addition to the traditional geometric constraint, system centroid …

This study addresses the two-dimensional circular knapsack packing problem, which packs
unequal rectangles into a circular container to maximize the number or the area of items …

We investigate the orthogonal packing of rectangular objects into a circular container of fixed
radius. We propose a new constructive heuristic called pack which builds a feasible packing …

The purpose of this paper is to present a novel satellite layout optimization design (SLOD)
approach based on the phi-function, which provides a simple, effective and simultaneously …

Satellite layout optimization design (SLOD) relies on solving a high-dimensional and
multimodal optimization problem, in which there exist multiple global optimal solutions …

Mass reduction is a primary design goal pursued in satellite structural design, since the
launch cost is proportional to their total mass. The most common mass reduction method …
