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

Journal 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

Review on the Structure Design of Morphing Winglets

Aerospace
Winglets have a significant impact on the aerodynamic performance of aircraft. When aircraft are in different flight phases such as takeoff, climb, cruise, descent, and landing, traditional fixed winglets often cannot provide optimal performance gains ...

Multistable and morphing corrugated shell structures

, 2013
'Compliant' structures, i. e., structures that undergo large deformations as part of their normal behaviour, can perform the function of a complex mechanism with just a single, or very few, components. When multistability is introduced into compliant structures, an even greater simplification can be made, with actuators and/ or locking mechanisms ...

Structural analysis of morphing control surfaces

, 2020
In this thesis, design and analysis of a hybrid trailing edge control surface isperformed. Only camber motion and twisting motion of the trailing edge controlsurface are considered. There are four control surface configurations that areanalyzed. For the first configuration, servo actuators actuating the control surface areinside the control surface ...

Component concepts for morphing structures

Component concepts for morphing structures
As part of the 'Advanced Aircraft Structures Program', feasibility studies of different structural concepts of active and morphing structures have been performed. These studies have revealed significant problems related to system complexity and functionality under environmental conditions and severe problems combined with the development of adequate ...
