Performance envelopes for preliminary sizing of aircraft structures
… structural design are loads development and sizing. The first deals with the development of all the load cases that an aircraft may encounter in service, whereas the latter is responsible for the design of the structural components required to carry the predicted loads.<br/><br/>A significant …

Feasibility of Microsatellite Active Debris Removal Systems
… of a grapple-and-tug system will be driven by sizing of the propellant required to deorbit the target vehicle. Further sensitivity analysis determined that target altitude and mass are critical factors in determining the capabilities of a microsatellite mission. Preliminary sizing demonstrated …

Multidisciplinary design optimization of an eVTOL aircraft using analytical target cascading
… approach is introduced for the integration of preliminary sizing as well as various component level design and optimization models of a fully electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicle. Analytical models for eVTOL subsystems are discussed, and various strategies for efficient …

Signomial programming for aircraft design
… programming models are proposed for optimal preliminary sizing of the vertical tail, horizontal tail, fuselage, landing gear, and wing of a commercial aircraft with a tube-and- wing configuration. These models are then combined together to produce a full aircraft optimization model. Signomial …

Embedded liquid-laminated connections for structural glass applications
… connection response which is a useful aid for preliminary sizing of such connections during initial stages of design. Finally, the benefits and viability of the embedded liquid laminated connection examined in this research are demonstrated by assembling a novel glass component (demonstrator). …
