Flutter is a dynamic aeroelastic instability driven by the interaction of inertial, elastic, and
aerodynamic forces. It is an undesirable phenomenon in aircraft because it causes divergent …

Aeroelastic optimization has become an indispensable component in the evaluation of
divergence and flutter characteristics for plated/shell structures. The present paper intends to …

To date, topology optimization has proven to be the most beneficial, yet most complex,
structural optimization technique available to engineers and scientists. However, particularly …

Shell structures are some of the most widely used in engineering applications. Flat plates,
stiffened panels, and wing ribs are each examples of components for which the design …

Several topology optimization problems are conducted within the ribs and spars of a wing
box. It is desired to locate the best position of lightening holes, truss/cross-bracing, etc. A …

The adoption of conventional “black metal” composites in aircraft structures has lead to an
improvement in performance over previous metallic designs. With the maturation of …

In this paper, the integrated design of curvilinearly grid-stiffened panels is investigated,
including stiffener layout design and profile design. The layout design includes the …

This paper investigates the weight minimization of stiffened panels simultaneously
optimizing sizing, layout, and topology under stress and buckling constraints. An effective …

This research develops a highly effective deep-learning-based surrogate model that can
provide the optimum topologies of 2D and 3D structures. In general, structural topology …

Isogeometric analysis (IGA) consists of using the same higher-order and smooth spline
functions for the representation of geometry in Computer Aided Design as for the …
