Research on the synthesis of bionic thin-walled structures of the aircraft fuselage compartment type

The topological optimization method was used to synthesize bionic structures for the promising small aircraft compartment made of aluminum alloy. Topological optimization was performed on the basis of the ESO-SIMP method using the ANSYS Workbench software tools. Influence of the design parameters, in particular, of the shell thickness, on the strength and weight characteristics of the compartment bionic structures after topological optimization was studied under the external loads action.
