This work is focused on development of optimization approaches for improving the design of civil aircraft wingbox structures. Technological progress in the area of advanced lightweight materials and manufacturing techniques enables today novel wingbox designs, which requires appropriate simulation and design exploration methods. Numerical optimization can provide valuable information in various design stages. Several optimization approaches are proposed in this thesis, suitable for global preliminary wingbox layout, shape optimization of wingbox subcomponents and optimal design of steered-fiber composite parts.
