Aerodynamic Evaluation of Camber Morphed Helicopter Rotor Blades
This thesis analyzes the aerodynamic effects of active camber morphing on helicopter rotor blades, focusing on Fishbone Active Camber (FishBAC) concepts. Using 2D steady and unsteady CFD simulations and high-fidelity CFD/CSD coupling, three investigations explore camber morphing from 75% chord to the trailing edge. Key findings include improved lift-to-

A bio-inspired, active morphing skin for camber morphing structures
Smart Materials and Structures, 2015In this study, one kind of developed morphing skin embedded with pneumatic muscle fibers (PMFs) was manufactured and was employed for camber morphing structures. The output force and contraction of PMF as well as the morphing skin were experimentally characterized at a series of discrete actuator pressures varying from 0.15 to 0.35 MPa.
