Numerical Design Structure Matrix–Genetic Algorithm-Based Optimization Method for Design Process of Complex Civil Aircraft Systems

In the requirement-driven forward design process of civil aircraft, the large number of design tasks of complex systems with varying difficulty and the complex relationships between design tasks lead to unnecessary repetitive design iterations. In order to solve the above problems, the concept of ov...

description In the requirement-driven forward design process of civil aircraft, the large number of design tasks of complex systems with varying difficulty and the complex relationships between design tasks lead to unnecessary repetitive design iterations. In order to solve the above problems, the concept of overlap coefficient is proposed to further sort out the forward and backward logical relationships between design tasks and the civil aircraft system design process optimization model based on a numerical design structure matrix. The algorithm NSGA-II is improved and verified with the flight control system design as a case study. The results show that the proposed method can effectively improve the efficiency of complex system design and provide technical support for the optimization of the design process of complex civil aircraft systems.
