Structural optimization of composite and aluminum horizontal tail plane of a helicopter
Arpacıoğlu, Bertan; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019)
This thesis presents structural optimization studies of aluminum and composite material horizontal tail plane structure of a helicopter by using MSC.NASTRAN optimization capabilities. Structural design process starts from conceptual design phase, and structural layout design is performed by using CATIA. In the preliminary design phase, study focuses on minimum weight optimization with multiple design variables and similar constraints for both materials. Aerodynamic load calculation is performed using ANSYS ...
Structural design, analysis and composite manufacturing applications for a tactical unmanned air vehicle
Soysal, Sercan; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2008)
In this study structural design, analysis and composite manufacturing applications for a tactical UAV, which was designed and manufactured in Aerospace Engineering Department of Middle East Technical University (METU), is introduced. In order to make an accurate structural analysis, the material and loading is modeled properly. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was used to determine the 3D pressure distribution around the wing and then the nodal forces were exported into the finite element program by means...
Structural optimization of composite helicopter rotor blades
Işık, Alperen Ayberk; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2018)
Structural optimization of a helicopter rotor blade with uniform aerodynamic surface and twist at the functional region is performed for weight minimization subject to various constraints relevant to helicopter rotor blades. The genetic algorithm based optimization is performed only for the functional region of the blade. Design variables are taken as the number of unidirectional S-glass layers in the spar cap, position of the spar web with respect to the leading edge, nose mass diameter and position of the...

Structural optimization strategies via different optimization and solver codes and aerospace applications
Ekren, Mustafa; Kayran, Altan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2008)
In this thesis, structural optimization study is performed by using three different methods. In the first method, optimization is performed using MSC.NASTRAN Optimization Module, a commercial structural analysis program. In the second method, optimization is performed using the optimization code prepared in MATLAB and MSC.NASTRAN as the solver. As the third method, optimization is performed by using the optimization code prepared in MATLAB and analytical equations as the solver. All three methods provide ce...
