Title
A General Integrated Method for Design Analysis and Optimization of Missile Structure
Abstract
In the demonstration phase of a missile scheme, to obtain the optimum proposal, designers need to modify the parameters of the overall structure frequently and significantly, and perform the structural analysis repeatedly. In order to reduce the manual workload and improve the efficiency of research and development, a general integrated method of missile structure modeling, analysis and optimization was proposed. First, CST (Class and Shape transformation functions) parametric method was used to describe the general structure of the missile. The corresponding software geometric modeling and FEM (Finite Element Method) analyzing of the missile were developed in C/C++ language on the basis of the CST parametric method and UG (Unigraphics) secondary development technology. Subsequently, a novel surrogate model-based optimation strategy was proposed to obtain a relatively light mass missile structure under existing shape size. Eventually, different missile models were used to verify the validity of the method. After executing the structure modeling, analysis and optimization modules, satisfactory results can be obtained that demonstrated the stability and adaptability of the proposed method. The method presented saves plenty of time comparing to the traditional manual modeling and analysis method, which provides a valuable technique to improve the efficiency of research and development.
