Aerostructural optimization and aeroelasticity of new generation aircraft

Aerostructural optimization and aeroelasticity of new generation aircraft

26-27 April 2023

This course will concern the following learning objectives:

  • Multidisciplinary optimization considering aerodynamics and structures.
  • Algorithmic Differentiation (AD) to support an efficient evaluation of the sensitivities needed by gradient-base optimization techniques.
  • Effects of flight dynamics and aeroelasticity coupling.
  • Formulation of coupled problems.

Syllabus

  • Introduction: new efficient wings, aerostructural coupling, and optimization
  • Optimization: definitions, classifications, numerical optimization methods (gradient-based optimization)
  • Gradient evaluation: the adjoint method. Algorithmic differentiation.
  • Using AD library on a simple problem: forward vs reverse modes
  • MDO and MDO architectures. Coupled gradient evaluation.
  • Application of high-fidelity Aero-structural optimization with AD
  • Introduction on non-conventional aircraft and coupled flight dynamic and aeroelastic effects.

    HMI Design in Aeronautics

    HMI Design in Aeronautics

    8 February 2023 9:00-13:00 CET

    As a matter of fact, the increased complexity and autonomy of aeronautical systems call for newly conceived Human Machine Interfaces that allow a safe and efficient interaction and/or control, involving both physical and cognitive interfaces.

    HMI design is an iterative process performed adopting a user centred approach where human performances are generally measured by means of objective and subjective metrics derived by human factors discipline.

    The webinar will introduce the basic methodologies for HMI design and validation at different maturity steps, providing examples and case studies derived from aeronautical applications. It will also describe a few emerging technologies that are expected to disrupt traditional aeronautical HMI design in the next future, with a specific focus on eXtended Reality.
