Structural optimization of an underwater glider with blended wing body

This article deals with the mass estimation of an underwater glider with blended wing body subject to multiple constraints including strength, deformation, and stability in order to maximize its payload capacity and long range. Parametric modeling of the blended-wing-body underwater glider structure...
