My research activities commenced in 1994 and include subjects in the fields of thermo-fluids, intrinsically smart materials as well as design and optimisation. Currently my principle research interests are:
1. Simulation and Design of Aeroelastic Tailored Structures
A particular advantage of using composite materials is that the various elastic couplings, which are the result of the specific lay-up and fibre orientations, can be induced in the structure made of such materials. These structural couplings can have favourable influences on the aeroelastic behaviour of the aero-structures such as wings, control effectors and rotor blades. Planning structural couplings in aerodynamic surfaces is called aeroelastic tailoring. more ...
Elastic Coupling
Coupled aero-structure simulation and integrated design of a bend-twist adaptive blade
2. Application of Computational Intelligence in Engineering
Computational intelligence techniques have received increasing attention in various engineering disciplines. These techniques mainly include:
Fuzzy Systems, for reasoning under uncertainty
Non-Iterative Force-Adaptive Mesh Generation Using Artificial Neural Networks
Evolutionary Computation, utilising biologically inspired concepts to generate progressively better alternatives, mainly used in search and global optimisation, more ...

generation #10
generation #15
generation #20
generation #50
Optimum design of a truss under distributed load using Genetic Algorithm - Best individual in each generation
Optimal pre-twist of an adaptive blade obtained by a GA-based optimisation practice
3. Designer Decision Support Systems for Multidisciplinary Design Problems
A Design Decision Support System (DDSS) is a computerised system supporting the designer in the generation, evaluation and comparison of alternatives for a design candidate in a multidisciplinary design space.
A DDSS helps the designer in (i) clean sheet design initialisation, (ii) comprehensive design candidate assessment and (iii) effective design candidate modification. more ...
