Abstract
In order to improve the efficiency of the general platform optimization, a new mean value-based collaborative method (MVCM) for structural optimization of general platform is proposed. The key idea of this method is to decompose the general platform optimization problem into a system-level optimization problem and several independent subsystem-level optimization problems by introducing coordination variables. While meeting the design requirements and performance requirements, the subsystem optimizes each aircraft so that the design variables of each aircraft are as close as possible to coordination variables. The system-level coordination adjusts the coordination variables according to the results of each subsystem. With the continuous iteration between the system and the subsystems, the coordination variables that can maximize the generality of the product family are finally found. The numerical test results show that the MVCM can greatly improve the efficiency of the general platform optimization.
