Active flutter suppression, which is a part of the group of flight vehicle technologies known as
active controls, is an important contributor to the effective solution of aeroelastic instability …

The increasing complexity of engineering systems has sparked rising interest in
multidisciplinary optimization (MDO). This paper surveys recent publications in the field of …

At the end of the rst century of manned, powered ight, it is worthwhile to look backward to
understand how innovation in airplane design required developments in aeroelasticity and …

This paper considers the aeroelastic optimization of a subsonic transport wing box under a
variety of static and dynamic aeroelastic constraints. Three types of design variables are …

This paper examines the use of a variable-camber continuous trailing-edge flap system for
aeroservoelastic optimization of a transport wing box, the Common Research Model. Along …

Because of their higher aerodynamic efficiency and lighter structural weight, thin composite
wings with large aspect ratios are increasingly being used for civil transport aircraft wing …

This paper demonstrates a technique for locating the optimal control surface layout of an
aeroservoelastic Common Research Model wingbox, in the context of maneuver load …

The evolution of multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) over the past several years has
been one of rapid expansion and development. In this paper, the evolution of MDO as a field …

The increasing flexibility of modern aircraft wings makes the consideration of aeroelasticity
increasingly important in the earliest stages of the design process. In response to this need …

AEROSERVOELASTIC optimization can be posed as a coupled plant-controller optimization
problem [1], where structural sizing and planform shape design variables define the aircraft …
