Popis: | A capability has been developed that utilizes multi objective optimization to identify hypersonic entry aeroshell shapes that will increas e landed mass capability. Aeroshell shapes are parameterized using non-uniform rational B-splines to generate complete aeroshell surfaces. Hypersonic aerodynamic objectives and constraints are computed by numerically integrating pressure coefficient distributions obta ined using Newtonian flow theory. An integrated optimization environment is created usin g iSIGHT with single- and multiobjective evolutionary algorithms. Results are presented based on optimization using constraints derived from the aeroshell for the Mars Science Laboratory mission. Resulting solutions clearly demonstrate the trade-offs betwee n drag-area, static stability, and volumetric efficiency for this particular mission. |
