Kesseler E., Guenov M. (Eds.) Advances in Collaborative Civil Aeronautical Multidisciplinary Design Optimization. Volume 233: Progress in Astronautics Andaeronautics

American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Reston, Virginia, 2010. 473 p. — ISBN: 978-1-60086-725-5.This book presents results from a major European research project, Value Improvement through a Virtual Aeronautical Collaborative Enterprise (VIVACE), on the collaborative civil aeronautical enterprise. In this context the virtual product refers to all components that comprise an aircraft, the structure, the systems, and the engines. The book structure follows the phases of a generic design cycle, beginning with chapters covering Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) issues at initial design stages and then gradually moving to more detailed design optimization. The MDO applications are ordered by product complexity, from whole aircraft and engine to single component optimization. Final chapters focus on engineering data management, product life cycle management, security, and automated workflows. Inspired and verified by real industrial use cases, the innovative methods and infrastructure solutions contained in this book present a radical step forward toward the advancement, industrialization, and standardization of the MDO concept and will benefit researchers and practitioners in the field of complex systems design.OverviewErnst Kesseler, Katern 09, Amsterdam, The Netherlands; and Marin D.
