Topology Optimization and Structural Design of a Fowler Flap Bracket for Additive Manufacturing Under Analytical Aerodynamic Loads

Reducing structural weight in commercial aviation is a primary challenge for efficiency. This study introduces a design framework optimizing a Fowler flap bracket using topology optimization (TO) tailored for additive manufacturing (AM) constraints. Rather than expensive fluid simulations, the methodology utilizes anal...

Structural Design and Optimization of an Industrial Lift Platform Using Composite Profiles

The structural design and optimization of an industrial lift platform through the application of composite profiles, specifically sandwich structures, to enhance performance characteristics compared to conventional metallic (steel)designs. The primary goal is to significantly reduce the platform's overall weight withou...

Combined effects of material and structure on the NVH performance of a composite steering column support assembly

A Closed-Loop Multi-Dimensional Validation Methodology used to ascertain the effect of composites material and structure on steering column support assembly and the modal requirements for the composite part was developed. According to CAE analysis, carbon fiber reinforced polyamide66 part and glass fiber reinforced pol...

Integrating DFMA and Sustainability Assessment for Mini-Fan Redesign: A Comparative Case Study

The environmental performance of small consumer products can be improved when manufacturability and life-cycle considerations are incorporated before detailed design is fixed. This study integrates Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) principles with a screening-level, CAD-based sustainability assessment to com...

Design and parameter optimization of the box-panel satellite primary load-bearing structure

To meet the demand for the rapid development of commercial satellites, we introduce parameter optimization technology in the early design phase of the satellites to establish an optimization design scheme, where the thickness of the primary load-bearing cabin panel skin and honeycomb core are defined as design variable...
