Robust multi-fidelity design of a micro re-entry unmanned space vehicle [PDF]
This article addresses the preliminary robust design of a small-scale re-entry unmanned space vehicle by means of a hybrid optimization technique. The approach, developed in this article, closely couples an evolutionary multi-objective algorithm with a ...

Quantification of airfoil geometry-induced aerodynamic uncertainties - comparison of approaches [PDF]
Uncertainty quantification in aerodynamic simulations calls for efficient numerical methods since it is computationally expensive, especially for the uncertainties caused by random geometry variations which involve a large number of variables. This paper

Evolutionary design of a full-envelope full-authority flight control system for an unstable high-performance aircraft [PDF]
The use of an evolutionary algorithm in the framework of H1 control theory is being considered as a means for synthesizing controller gains that minimize a weighted combination of the infinite norm of the sensitivity function (for disturbance attenuation

A New Cokriging Method for Variable-Fidelity Surrogate Modeling of Aerodynamic Data [PDF]
Cokriging is a statistical interpolation method for the enhanced prediction of a less intensively sampled primary variable of interest with assistance of intensively sampled auxiliary variables. In the geostatistics community it is referred to as two- or

Multi-objective optimization of a wing fence on an unmanned aerial vehicle using surrogate-derived gradients [PDF]
In this paper, the multi-objective, multifidelity optimization of a wing fence on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) near stall is presented. The UAV under consideration is characterized by a blended wing body (BWB), which increases its efficiency, and a ...
