Aeroelastic tailoring is a powerful method for utilizing the anisotropic features of composite materials used in lightweight aerospace structures. The present proposed methodology combines three different analysis tools: a commercial FE software commonly used in industry, an in-house reduced order aeroelastic framework for aeroelastic analyses with tailoring capabilities, LLGA, in-house linkage-learning genetic algorithms for optimization of stacking sequences. As a multidisciplinary problem where structural and aeroelastic behaviors are interacted, developed multi-level optimization scenario in this research converges to the optimal design in a very short time. The proposed methodology implemented as a computer code can effectively be applied to any arbitrary air vehicle's composite wing by changing input data.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCompositesOptimizationAeroelastic analysisStructural analysisNumerical modelingArticle11985Q2118724WOS:000981336000001Q2
