Abstract:

An enhanced multiobjective formulation technique, capable of emphasizing specific objective functions during the optimization process, has been demonstrated on a complex multidisciplinary design application. The Kreisselmeier–Steinhauser (K–S) function approach, which has been used successfully in a variety of multiobjective optimization problems, has been modified using weight factors which enables the designer to emphasize specific design objectives during the optimization process. The technique has been implemented in two distinctively different problems. The first is a classical three bar truss problem and the second is a high-speed aircraft (a doubly swept wing–body configuration) application in which the multiobjective optimization procedure simultaneously minimizes the sonic boom and the drag-to-lift ratio (CD/CL) of the aircraft while maintaining the lift coefficient within prescribed limits. The results are compared with those of an equally weighted K–S multiobjective optimization. Results demonstrate the effectiveness of the enhanced multiobjective optimization procedure.
