Framework to support the aircraft digital counterpart concept with an industrial design view

Features Of Application Of The Technology Of Digital Counterparts In Aviation Equipment

“…The digital counterpart should also provide a replacement or substantial reduction in expensive in-kind stands and flight tests through the use of sensitive and certified calculated physics and mathematics models. At the same time, the need for a systematic approach to the introduction of digital testing technologies at all stages of the SCI is constantly being identified, which ensures not only a reduction in the number of in-kind tests through a computational experiment, but also a calculated confirmation of the achieved in the early stages of AT development and estimated control of TTH and ETH levels in operation (Rios, Mas, Oliva, & Hernández, 2018). The main difficulty is not development itself and even validation (convergence check) of the model, as the presentation of the results of the simulation as evidence for government tests and certification in connection with the imperfect regulatory framework.…”

A Review of the Roles of Digital Twin in CPS-Based Production Systems

“…a. Optimization of system behaviour during design phase [30,33,43,46,47]; b. Optimization of product lifecycle, knowing the past and present states, it is possible to predict and optimize the future performances [22,45]. Many of the mentioned uses were targeted at improving maintenance activities, such as condition-based maintenance, diagnostics and prognostics activities.…”

“…I. For most of the authors, the DT is a model that represents the system that different types of simulations can be based upon [19][20][21]25,27,28,31,33,39,[44][45][46][47][48], II.…”

“…Irrespective of the connection between the two concepts, the authors mention different purposes and characteristics of the simulations and the DT. In the aerospace, the most mentioned simulations replicate the continuous time history of flights (with historical data, maintenance history information), generating enormous databases of simulations to understand what the aircraft has experienced and to forecast future maintenance needs and interventions, with the use of Finite Element Methods (FEM), Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Montecarlo and Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) applications-based simulations [19][20][21]27,33,46,48]. Some authors highlight the fact that these simulations should be connected with on-board devices and sensors to have a continuous synchronization with the field condition [21].…”

Can constructal law and exergy analysis produce a robust design method that couples with industry 4.0 paradigms? The case of a container house

“…It is evident that the intrinsic nature of constructal law based design and of Industry 4.0 digital twin based holistic design and optimization modes can precisely couple to allow a more effective design that accounts first and second law of thermodynamics into the definition of both product and production system. In this paper it will be assessed an effective design method which derives from constructal design, in the hypothesis of coupling it with modular design and consequently with digital twin according to guidelines defined by Weyer [41] and Rios et al [42]. This paper will account the design of a container based modular housing system, which can be easily produced offsite and moved on-site with major economic and industrial benefits with respect to traditional building technologies.…”
