The analysis of aircraft design methods reported here has revealed that building a competitive aircraft necessitates devising a scientifically based concept of integrated aircraft design employing CAD/CAM/CAE/PLM software suites. A generalized concept of integrated design and three-dimensional computer modeling of aircraft involving the CAD/CAM/CAE/PLM systems has been developed. Based on the proposed concept, the principles of integrated design of aircraft were devised. The features of designing the training and training-combat aircraft, transport-category aircraft, light civilian aircraft have been described. A method for determining the take-off weight, design parameters, and formation of the general appearance of aircraft has been improved. The method is intended to form the appearance of the aircraft at the stages of preliminary design, the purpose of which is reduced to determining the permissible version of the aircraft project. The project must meet the predefined requirements and restrictions in the selected aircraft scheme and the assigned set of parameters that characterize its airframe and power plant. A method of parametric modeling of aircraft has been improved, which includes the stages of creating a master geometry of the aircraft and a model of space distribution.

The analysis of the design and technological features of the rotor blades of heavy transport helicopters is carried out. The main performance characteristics of heavy helicopters are presented. General requirements to helicopter main rotor blades design and specifications for their production are formulated. The design and force diagram of heavy helicopter main rotor blades is considered. The features of structural materials for the main rotor blades of heavy transport helicopters are marked. The main rotor blades differ in their design due to different approaches to materials, manufacturing and layout of blade elements. The main rotor blades of an all-metal design, for design and technological reasons, are divided into two groups: a frame structure with a tubular steel spar and an aluminum extruded spar. As a result of a number of design and technological measures the service life of the main rotor blade of helicopter Mi-6 was brought from 50 hours to 1500 hours. The principal peculiarity of the steel tubular spar of the main rotor blade of the Mi-26 helicopter is the absence of the shaft lug. The features of mixed design main rotor blades are presented. The method of parametric modeling of helicopter main rotor blades is presented. The application of the three-dimensional parametric models of structural elements in practice of designing and construction enables to perform numerical calculations of aerodynamic and strength characteristics both of separate aggregates, units and details and of the helicopter as a whole by means of the finite element method. The method of parametric modeling of the main rotor blade of the transport helicopter with the computer system CATIA V5 is a modification of the method of integrated designing of the elements of aviation constructions. Parametric master geometry of the main rotor blade is a linear surface, created by basic profiles of the blade. On the basis of parametric master geometry a space distribution model is created that determines the position of axial planes of the power set of the blade for further creation of the blade detail models. Technological flowchart of main rotor blade manufacturing is presented, manufacturing and surface hardening technology of steel tubular spar is considered. The technology of manufacturing and molding the nose part of the blade of the main rotor mixed design. The technological features of slipway assembly-gluing of the main rotor blade are considered, the content of off-slipway work is given.These materials can be useful in theoretical and experimental studies to extend the service life of the rotor blades of Mi-26 helicopters, which are currently in operation in Ukraine.

This paper analyzes the current status and inadequate of three-dimensional parametric design, and introduces the conceptions and principles of KBE (Knowledge Based Engineering) technology and the parametric design. The key techniques of parametric design system are studied based on the platform of combination of SolidWorks as three-dimensional feature modeling software, Microsoft Access as supported database and Microsoft Visual Basic as the development tool. Firstly, we divide the product into modules by functions. Secondly, invoke corresponding knowledge and methods of design and calculation in the KBE knowledge base to perform design and calculation. Then we use parametric modification method combined with equations, values link and design tables to get the parametric models, judge the rationality of the design parameters through finite element analysis, and create the drawings which meet the processing and production requirements using drawings automatically adjustment technology. Finally a case study of stacker design is given to validate these techniques of parametric design system, and show that the techniques have great significance for improving product design quality, shorting the design cycle and improving the competitiveness of enterprises.

MDO and reliability design are independently processed in the traditional aircraft design. The designs process is thus consuming compute intensive, so that integrated design of MDO and reliability is required. To achieve the integration, there are two problems needed to be solved. First, a reliability function needs to be expressed by performance design parameters in a probability form. Second, the reliability function needs to be imported into MDO arithmetic. For the first one, stress-strength interference theory is useful. According to the theory, performance design parameters are described in the formulas which calculate probability of reliability. For the second, the reliability function is considered as a part of optimization objective functions or as a constraint function. The simulation of aircraft design shows that the above method is useful and effective to the actual project.

Cosmetic mask is a popular skincare product widely accepted by the youth and female. Most cosmetic masks in the current market offer very few sizes to choose from, thus producing misfit masks with reduced wearing comfort and skincare functionality. This paper describes how to realize customized design of cosmetic masks using three-dimensional (3D) parametric face models derived from a large amount of scanned facial data. The parametric models approximate individual faces using a nonlinear regression model controlled by a set of facial parameters easy to be measured. They serve as effective reference geometry to conduct 3D mask design. A prototyping mask design system implementing the parametric modeling method demonstrates the customized design process. The system allows the user to construct the mask shape directly on 3D meshes of a face model by specifying inner and outer boundary curves. An automatic flattening function unfolds the trimmed meshes into a two-dimensional (2D) pattern with a reduced shape distortion. This research enhances the practical value of large-scale anthropometric data by realizing human centric design customization using cosmetic facial mask as an example.

In this article design and optimization scheme of a three-dimensional bump surface for a supersonic aircraft is presented. A baseline bump and inlet duct with forward cowl lip is initially modeled in accordance with an existing bump configuration on a supersonic jet aircraft. Various design parameters for bump surface of diverterless supersonic inlet systems are identified, and design space is established using sensitivity analysis to identify the uncertainty associated with each design parameter by the one-factor-at-a-time approach. Subsequently, the designed configurations are selected by performing a three-level design of experiments using the Box–Behnken method and the numerical simulations. Surrogate modeling is carried out by the least square regression method to identify the fitness function, and optimization is performed using genetic algorithm based on pressure recovery as the objective function. The resultant optimized bump configuration demonstrates significant improvement in pressure recovery and flow characteristics as compared to baseline configuration at both supersonic and subsonic flow conditions and at design and off-design conditions. The proposed design and optimization methodology can be applied for optimizing the bump surface design of any diverterless supersonic inlet system for maximizing the intake performance.

Mandibular reconstruction with fibula flap shows a 3D discrepancy between the fibula and the remnant mandible. Eight patients underwent three-dimensional reconstruction of the fibula flap with iliac crest graft and dental implants through virtual surgical planning (VSP), stereolitographic models (STL) and CAD/CAM titanium mesh. Vertical ridge augmentation and horizontal dimensions of the fibula, peri-implant bone resorption of the iliac crest graft, implant success rate and functional and aesthetic results were evaluated. Vertical reconstruction ranged from 13.4 mm to 10.1 mm, with an average of 12.22 mm. Iliac crest graft and titanium mesh were able to preserve the width of the fibula, which ranged from 8.9 mm to 11.7 mm, with an average of 10.1 mm. A total of 38 implants were placed in the new mandible, with an average of 4.75 ± 0.4 implants per patient and an osseointegration success rate of 94.7%. Two implants were lost during the osseointegration period (5.3%). Bone resorption was measured as peri-implant bone resorption at the mesial and distal level of each implant, with a variation between 0.5 mm and 2.4 mm, and with a mean of 1.43 mm. All patients were rehabilitated with a fixed implant prosthesis with good aesthetic and functional results.
