Computational and Experimental Validation of the Active Morphing Wing
TL;DR: In this paper, an advanced computational and experimental analysis has been performed upon a conventional aircraft wing with two outboard morphing partitions that are variable in twist and dihedral angles, with the intention of drawing meaningful comparisons with initial trends in aerodynamic and structural efficiency that have been observed in previous optimization studies.

Dynamic modelling and actuation of the adaptive torsion wing
TL;DR: The Adaptive Torsion Wing (ATW) as mentioned in this paper is a two-spar wingbox whose torsional stiffness can be adjusted by translating the spar webs in the chordwise direction inward and towards each other using internal actuators.

Multi-objective optimization for the geometry of trapezoidal corrugated morphing skins
Iman Dayyani,Michael I. Friswell +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the geometric parameters of the coated composite corrugated panels were optimized to minimize the in-plane stiffness and the weight of the skin and to maximize the flexural out-ofplane stiffness.
Bidirectional torsional negative stiffness mechanism for energy balancing systems
Jiaying Zhang,Alexander D. Shaw,Mohammadreza Amoozgar,Michael I. Friswell,Benjamin K.S. Woods +4 more
TL;DR: The performance of the optimised bidirectional negative stiffness device is investigated to shows an improvement by the kinematics tailoring, and a representative case study is made of a tendon-driven morphing active camber mechanism.
