Structural Tailoring/Analysis for Hypersonic Components - A computational simulation
The development of STAHYC (Structural Tailoring/Analysis for Hypersonic Components), a numerical tool for the optimum design of an engine inlet wall panel for hypersonic aerospace vehicles, is described. STAHYC integrates FORTRAN modules of different disciplines, including fluid dynamics, heat transfer, structural analysis, and optimization. The discussion covers the system design concept, system components, system automation, system testing, established links, and data transfer between different computational modules. The various algorithms used in STAHYC are also discussed.
