AIRCRAFT WING DEDIGN AUTOMATION WITH ESO AND GESO

Group evolutionary structural optimization (GESO) is a recent modification of evolutionary structural optimization (ESO) that extends the topological method to configuration optimization. This paper demonstrates the optimization of an aircraft wing with ESO and GESO . The optimization is conducted over some of the major areas involved in the design of an aircraft wing. These include the optimization of the configuration of the internal stiffeners, the sizing of the skin thickness and the detailed optimization of the stiffeners.
