Aerodynamic behavior of an airfoil with morphing trailing edge for wind turbine applications

open access: yes, 2014
The length of wind turbine rotor blades has been increased during the last decades. Higher stresses arise especially at the blade root because of the longer lever arm.

Aerodynamic Shape Optimization of Airplane Winglet & Investigation Into Morphing Winglet Technology

open access: yes, 2019
While airplane design has been carefully crafted, there is always room for improvement. One debated topic within the aerospace industry is which fixed airfoil winglet design best increases lift while decreasing drag.

Investigation of a Variable Camber Morphing Airfoil via SMA Wire and Corrugated Structures

open access: yes
This study proposes a novel design concept of SMA wire technology that is applied to an Eppler E397 morphing airfoil. The study suggests replacing a conventional flap like structure which is typically located at 75% chord with a smooth geometry morphing ...

A Numerical Study on Smart Material Selection for Flapped and Twisted Morphing Wing Configurations

open access: yesJournal of Aerospace Technology and Management, 2014
The developments of innovative adaptive structures on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), such as morphing wings, can potentially reduce system complexities by eliminating control surfaces and their auxiliary equipment. This technology has the potential of

Computational Investigation on the Effects of Two-Way Wing Morphing Strategy in the Critical Mach Number

open access: yesJournal of Aerospace Technology and Management, 2018
The elasto-flexible wing morphing is an advanced methodology to achieve higher lift-to-drag (L/D) ratio for the subsonic wing configurations at the given flow conditions.
