Abstract: The turbomachinery aerodynamic design process is characterized both by its complexity and the reliance on designer experience for success. Complexity has led to the design being decomposed into ...

Abstract: A novel topology/shape optimization method, Metamorphic Development, is applied to an axisymmetric thermo-elasticity design problem. Based on solid modeling and finite element analysis, optimal ...

Abstract: The design of gas turbine engines is a complex problem. This complexity has led to the adoption of a modular design approach, in which a conceptual design phase fixes the values for some ...

Abstract: The complexity of modern gas turbine engines has led to the adoption of a modular design approach, in which a conceptual design phase fixes the values for a number of parameters and dimensions ...
