摘要
This paper presents multi-objective topology and sizing optimization of a morphing wing structure. The purpose of this paper is to design a new aircraft wing structure with a tapered shape for ribs, spars, and skins including a torsion beam for external actuating torques, which is anticipated to modify the aeroelastic characteristic of the aircraft wing using multi-objective optimization. Two multi-objective topology optimization problems are proposed employing ground element structures with high- and low-grid resolutions. The design problem is to minimize mass, maximize difference of lift effectiveness, and maximize the buckling factor of an aircraft wing subject to aeroelastic and structural constraints including lift effectiveness, critical speed, and buckling factors. The design variables include aircraft wing structure dimensions and thickness distribution. The proposed optimization problems are solved by an efficient multi-objective metaheuristic algorithm while the results are compared and discussed. The Pareto optimal fronts obtained for all tests were compared based on a hypervolume metric. The objective function values for Case I and Case II at 10 selected optimal solutions exhibit a range of structural mass as 115.3216–411.6250 kg, 125.0137–440.5869 kg, lift effectiveness as 1.0514–1.1451, 1.0834–1.1639 and bucking factor as 38.895–1133.1864 Hz, 158.1264–1844.4355 Hz, respectively. The best results reveal unconventional aircraft wing structures that can be manufactured using additive manufacturing. This research is expected to serve as a foundation for future research into multi-objective topology optimization of morphing wing structures based on the ground element framework.
