Evaluation of a Compliant Droop-Nose Morphing Wing Tip via Experimental Tests [PDF]

, 2017
A morphing droop-nose wing tip with span of 1.3 m and target 2 deg droop was designed, manufactured, and tested as part of the European project Novel Air Vehicle Configurations: From Fluttering Wings to Morphing Flight.

Evolution of Physical Intelligence Across Scales

Advanced Intelligent Discovery, EarlyView.
By following the evolution of physical intelligence across scales, this article shows how intelligence arises from materials, structures, physical interactions, and collectives. It establishes physical intelligence as the evolutionary foundation upon which embodied intelligence is built.

Structural validation of a realistic wing structure: the RIBES test article [PDF]

, 2018
Several experimental test cases are available in literature to study and validate fluid structure interaction methods. They, however, focus the attention mainly on replicating typical cruising aerodynamic conditions forcing the adoption of fully steel ...

Basal complex: a smart wing component for automatic shape morphing

Communications Biology, 2023
Insect wings are adaptive structures that automatically respond to flight forces, surpassing even cutting-edge engineering shape-morphing systems. A widely accepted but not yet explicitly tested hypothesis is that a 3D component in the wing’s proximal ...

Worm‐Inspired Soft Robots With Modular Outfit‐Changing for Intelligent Multienvironment Adaptation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study proposes a worm‐inspired soft robot capable of locomotion across multiple environments through a modular “outfit‐changing” strategy. The robot integrates pneumatically actuated peristaltic segments with interchangeable external modules, enabling efficient motion on ground surfaces, within pipelines, through granular media, and underwater ...

Flower color variation in Digitalis purpurea: Pollination and soil influences across native and introduced populations

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Premise Flower color, a key trait influencing plant–pollinator interactions, may be influenced by abiotic factors such as soil. We investigated association between pollinators, soil characteristics, and flower color variations in Digitalis purpurea across native populations in Sweden and introduced populations in Bolivia.

Modeling and Optimization for Morphing Wing Concept Generation [PDF]

This report consists of two major parts: 1) the approach to develop morphing wing weight equations, and 2) the approach to size morphing aircraft. Combined, these techniques allow the morphing aircraft to be sized with estimates of the morphing wing ...
