Getting to know Optimization: the advanced design of a composite cockpit window frame for aeronautical applications

Date: 16 May 2019

Timetable: 11:00 - 11:20 CEST

Speaker/s: Vito Primavera

Language: English

Within the aeronautical field, the reduction of the equipment’s mass is a key point in seeking better performance. In this webinar, we will discuss the optimization of a composite cockpit window frame aimed to achieve the lowest mass possible while keeping the maximum stress below a well-established threshold. Faced with an initial “trial & error” procedure, the implemented optimization firstly allowed a direct integration of the FE model into the modeFRONTIER platform and, then, to obtain a deep understanding of the mechanical behavior of the system according to a very efficient optimization can be performed. . This “conscious optimization” approach exploits some typical modeFRONTIER facilities, such as statistical/exploratory data analysis and multi-target optimization strategies enhanced by the Response Surface Methodology. The final result generated a significant mass reduction and costs savings in terms of man-hours, too.
