Shape optimization under uncertainty of morphing airfoils
Acta Mechanica, 2017 This paper is devoted to the formulation of a novel optimization under uncertainty framework for the definition of optimal shapes for morphing airfoils, applied here to advancing/retreating 2D airfoils. In particular, the morphing strategy is conceived with the intent of changing the shape at a given frequency to enhance aerodynamic performance.
