Книга "Aircraft Aerodynamic Design. Geometry and Optimization" описывает математические модели, необходимые для оптимального проектирования самолетов. Авторы обращают внимание на тонкие компромиссы между различными целями геометрического параметризации, такими как гибкость, краткость и надежность. Книга начинается с основ геометрического проектирования самолетов, затем рассматриваются основные элементы вычислительной геометрии, такие как кривые и поверхности. Далее авторы охватывают ряд устаревших формулировок, чтобы перейти к обсуждению наиболее гибких моделей формы, используемых в аэродинамическом проектировании (с акцентом на поверхностях, создающих подъемную силу). Книга содержит коды на MATLAB®, Python и Rhinoceros® и примеры реальных случаев, что позволяет читателю применить каждую теоретическую концепцию в качестве помощи в понимании или как строительный блок собственной геометрической модели. "Aircraft Aerodynamic Design. Geometry and Optimization" является практическим руководством для исследователей и практиков в авиационной промышленности, а также справочником для аспирантов и студентов, изучающих проектирование самолетов и многофункциональную оптимизацию дизайна.
Optimal aircraft design isn?t possible without a comprehensive representation of a plane?s configuration. Optimal aircraft geometry design covers all this in a very theoretical and structured way. Starting with the tried and tested robust methods for designing shapes, even in sophisticated situations like variable topology design, to grasping the sophisticated methods of geometric modelling, this book goes through all.
What we liked about it: The first thing which caught my eye is the way the text has been broken down. We have chapters, boxes, subtitles and subsections to strike out a clear roadmap. Areas we still could improve: My only problem with this text came in chapter 10 where the author states :Table XVI presents a syatemic analysis of simple and composite variable topology‘. But on reaching the chapter no such table was found in it.

Описание книги от Forrester Alexander I.J.
Optimal aircraft design is impossible without a parametric representation of the geometry of the airframe. We need a mathematical model equipped with a set of controls, or design variables, which generates different candidate airframe shapes in response to changes in the values of these variables. This model's objectives are to be flexible and concise, and capable of yielding a wide range of shapes with a minimum number of design variables. Moreover, the process of converting these variables into aircraft geometries must be robust. Alas, flexibility, conciseness and robustness can seldom be achieved simultaneously. Aircraft Aerodynamic Design: Geometry and Optimization addresses this problem by navigating the subtle trade-offs between the competing objectives of geometry parameterization. It beginswith the fundamentals of geometry-centred aircraft design, followed by a review of the building blocks of computational geometries, the curve and surface formulations at the heart of aircraft geometry. The authors then cover a range of legacy formulations in the build-up towards a discussion of the most flexible shape models used in aerodynamic design (with a focus on lift generating surfaces). The book takes a practical approach and includes MATLAB®, Python and Rhinoceros® code, as well as ‘real-life’ example case studies. Key features: Covers effective geometry parameterization within the context of design optimization Demonstrates how geometry parameterization is an important element of modern aircraft design Includes code and case studies which enable the reader to apply each theoretical concept either as an aid to understanding or as a building block of their own geometry model Accompanied by a website hosting codes Aircraft Aerodynamic Design: Geometry and Optimization is a practical guide for researchers and practitioners in the aerospace industry, and a reference for graduate and undergraduate students in aircraft design and multidisciplinary design optimization.
