Dynamics of a hybrid morphing wing with active open loop vibrating trailing edge by Time-Resolved PIV and force measures [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
A quantitative characterization of the effects obtained by high frequency-low amplitude trailing edge actuation is presented. Particle image velocimetry, pressure and aerodynamic forces measurements are carried out on a wing prototype equipped with shape

Conceptual study of a morphing winglet based on unsymmetrical stiffness [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Morphing technology has the potential to increase aircraft performance. Among the morphing technologies, the morphing winglet is a promising solution due to its small size and large effect on the aerodynamics. Morphing winglets have to carry the spanwise

NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF TWO ELEMENT CAMBER MORPHING AIRFOIL IN LOW REYNOLDS NUMBER FLOWS [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Engineering Science and Technology, 2017
Aerodynamic performance of a two-element camber morphing airfoil was investigated at low Reynolds number using the transient SST model in ANSYS FLUENT 14.0 and eN method in XFLR5. The two-element camber morphing concept was employed to morph the baseline

Morphing surfaces for the control of boundary layer transition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
A structure configured to modify its surface morphology between a smooth state and a rough state in response to an applied stress. In demonstrated examples, a soft (PDMS) substrate is produced, and is pre-strained. A relatively stiff overlayer of a metal,

Aerodynamic and Aeroacoustic Performance of Spanwise Morphed Airfoils [PDF]

open access: yesAIAA AVIATION 2020 FORUM, 2020
Experimental studies of a NACA 0012 airfoil fitted with six different spanwise morphed flap profiles were successfully carried out to characterize their aerodynamic and aeroacoustic performance. The airfoil was tested with six configurations with different spanwise flap camber with a maximum deflection angle of β = 10◦ on one side and a minimum ...
