This paper presents the evaluation of different MDO architectures using an extended set of metrics, which take into consideration optimization and formulation structure characteristics. Demonstrative comparisons are made for analytic and supersonic business jet conceptual design examples. Results show the promising features of the proposed evaluation metrics to define a standardized guideline when dealing with multidisciplinary optimization formulations which can be applied to aircraft conceptual design problems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
