As modern airplane designs become increasingly powerful and efficient, aerospace companies are turning to advanced manufacturing methods and materials for strong, lightweight, and cost-effective solutions. The three main tasks that will be completed during the two-year project are: (1) additive manufacturing optimization and part consolidation methodology for component level design, (2) multi-material composite optimization for component level design, and (3) combined additive manufacturing and composite optimization for system level design. These tasks seek to address the major challenges associated with integrating additive manufacturing and fibre-reinforced composites into aerospace components by developing advanced computational tools and customized numerical models based on fundamental theories. All three tasks involve the redesign of a component or system to solve a real-world industry challenge. Through the partnership between researchers at Queen's University (Kingston, Ontario) and industry experts at Bombardier Aerospace (Toronto, Ontario), the project will focus on theoretical advancements and their practical application to optimization modules. The partnership will feature a two-year project with three full-time graduate students and several on-site internships at Bombardier Aerospace's Toronto offices, providing students with a valuable opportunity for mentorship by both industry experts and a leading professor.

随着现代飞机设计变得越来越强大和高效，航空航天公司正在转向先进的制造方法和材料，以获得坚固、轻便和经济高效的解决方案。在为期两年的项目中，将完成三个主要任务：(1)面向部件级设计的增材制造优化和零件整合方法，(2)面向部件级设计的多材料复合材料优化，以及(3)面向系统级设计的增材制造和复合材料组合优化。这些任务旨在通过开发先进的计算工具和基于基本理论的定制数值模型，解决将增材制造和纤维增强复合材料集成到航空航天部件中的主要挑战。这三个任务都涉及到组件或系统的重新设计，以解决现实世界中的行业挑战。通过皇后大学（安大略省金斯顿）的研究人员和庞巴迪航空航天公司（安大略省多伦多）的行业专家之间的合作，该项目将重点关注理论进步及其在优化模块中的实际应用。该合作项目为期两年，将有三名全日制研究生参加，并在庞巴迪宇航公司多伦多办事处进行现场实习，为学生提供宝贵的机会，接受行业专家和知名教授的指导。
