Multidisciplinary Design Optimization (MDO) is an emerging, new engineering discipline. Since it can solve the problem of large-scale complex engineering system's design, it has widely potential application in the field of aerospace engineering. As an initial research of MDO within China, this thesis includes the whole architecture of MDO. The emphasis are on the analysis and improvement of a distributed concurrent approach-Collaborative Optimization (CO).
The main contents of this thesis are as ...
