Increased flexibility may, however, result in nonlinear aeroelastic behav-<br>ior which must be captured during the design stage. Time-domain simulations, in particular, must be used to assess a flexible vehicle\u2019s stability across a mission. However, in the context of gradient-based vehicle and trajectory optimization, considering time-domain analyses for nonlinear aeroelastic systems has remained elusive due to the complexity of determining sensitivities of a time-marched solution. This paper develops a time-domain solution capability which uses a collocation method including gradient information for optimization problems. The aeroelastic time-domain solution is used to formulate take-off, climb, and landing constraints. The constraint formulations are demonstrated on a multi-disciplinary design optimization problem of a blended wing body. Finally, a fully transient formulation for the nonlinear aeroelastic system is presented and the ramification discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/9.pdf\">Read the full paper here<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><b>Christopher Lupp<\/b><\/p>\n<p>DOI Number: https:\/\/doi.org\/10.82439\/ceas-ifasd-2024-009<\/p>\n<p>Conference number: IFASD-2024-009<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[993,3028,3022],"tags":[1972,3169,3338,3330,3339],"class_list":["post-19688","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-events","category-computational-aeroelasticity-1-ifasd-2024","category-ifasd-2024","tag-aeroelasticity","tag-conceptual-aircraft-design","tag-gradient-based-optimization","tag-multi-disciplinary-design-optimization","tag-time-domain","category-993","category-3028","category-3022","description-off"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19688","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19688"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19688\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20391,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19688\/revisions\/20391"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19688"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19688"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aerospacerepository.org\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19688"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
