This book serves as a valuable resource for lecturers, offering a thorough review of experimental space astronomy. It addresses the growing gap between astronomers focused on observations and those skilled in instrumentation. Authored by experts, it includes historical context and is designed for advanced undergraduates and graduate students.
An innovative method for quantification of qualitative information within the framework of multidisciplinary structural optimization is presented in this thesis. The focus is on manufacturing aspects which are described by fuzzy data and expert knowledge. The method is applied to optimization of lightweight space frame parts. Manufacturing aspects change the optimal profile cross sections of extruded profiles and allow for trade-offs with respect to mass and manufacturability. The method is able to integrate otherwise neglected information into structural optimization, expand the problem formulation and finally gain additional insight into the optimal design.
