Structural and thermal engineers currently work independently of each other using unrelated tools, models, and methods. Without the ability to rapidly exchange design data and predicted performance, the achievement of the ideals of concurrent engineering is not possible. Thermal codes have been unable to exploit the geometric information in structural models and the CAD design database, and do ...

the study of flight vehicle structures reveals the importance of obtaining the most suitable accuracy compatible with construction. for this purpose, several experiments were conducted at the agard institute. in this paper the results of one such experiment performed on a sample airplane wing are presented. aircraft structural engineers use several methods to model these structures. specifing h...

A new approach to structural equation modelling based on so-called Extended Redundancy Analysis has been recently proposed in literature, enhanced with the added characteristic of generalizing Redundancy Analysis and ReducedRank Regression models for more than two blocks. However, in presence of direct effects linking exogenous and endogenous variables, the latent composite scores are estimated...

Finding the equilibrium path by non-linear structural analysis is one of the most important subjects in structural engineering. In this way, Incremental-Iterative methods are extremely used. This paper introduces several factors in incremental steps. In addition, it suggests some control criteria for the iterative part of the non-linear analysis. These techniques are based on the geometric of e...
