A new paper published in Thin-Walled Structures (Elsevier): “Multi-scale deterministic optimisation of blended composite structures: case study of a box-wing”

This work presents a multi-scale design methodology for the deterministic optimisation of thin-walled composite structures integrating a global–local approach for the assessment of the buckling strength and a dedicated strategy to recover blended stacking sequences. The methodology is based on the multi-scale two-level optimisation strategy for anisotropic materials and structures. In the first step, focused […]

A new paper published in Aerospace (MDPI): “A Physics-Based Multidisciplinary Approach for the Preliminary Design and Performance Analysis of a Medium Range Aircraft with Box-Wing Architecture” (Open Access)

  The introduction of disruptive innovations in the transport aviation sector is becoming increasingly necessary. This is because there are many very demanding challenges that the transport aviation system will have to face in the years ahead. In particular, the reduction in pollutant emissions from air transport, and its impact on climate change, clearly must […]
