A Robust and Reliability Based Design Optimization Framework for Wing Design

This paper presents the outline of a framework for simultaneous analysis and robustness and reliability calculations in aircraft design optimization, with the option of employing surrogate models. Robust Design Optimization and Reliability Based Design Optimization are merged into a unied formulation which simplies the setup of optimization problems and aims at preventing foreseeable implementation issues. The code in development expands upon and, in some cases, completely rewrites a previous version of a Multidisciplinary Design Optimization tool that was solely oriented to deterministic problems.
