Active Truss Structures for Wing Morphing
D Baker,Michael I. Friswell,Naj Lieven +2 more
- 01 Jul 2005
TL;DR: The Kagome truss pattern is shown to offer a geometry that after modification satisfies the requirements of static and kinematic determinacy; thus by replacing selected members with linear actuators structural form may be altered without resistance.

Identification of Breathing Cracked Shaft Models from Measurements
Michael I. Friswell,Ralston Fernandes,Nidhal Jamia,Sami El-Borgi +3 more
- 01 Jan 2016
TL;DR: In this article, a method to estimate the breathing crack stiffness using the measured synchronous response and its harmonics is proposed, which is demonstrated on a simple laboratory test rig and is shown to enable accurate model-based condition monitoring of rotating machines.

Direct Methods using Modal Data
Michael I. Friswell,John E. Mottershead +1 more
- 01 Jan 1995
TL;DR: This chapter discusses direct methods, which have the great advantage of not requiring iteration and thus the possibilities of divergence and excessive computation are eliminated.

Compound Matrices and Pfaffians: A Representation of Geometric Algebra
Uwe Prells,Michael I. Friswell,Seamus D. Garvey +2 more
- 01 Jan 2002
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the Clifford product of an odd number of vectors corresponds to a linear combination of forms of odd grade where the coefficients of these linear combinations are Pfaffians of certain matrices which can be understood as the skew symmetric counterpart of the corresponding Gramians.
Computational and experimental analysis of the active morphing wing concept
D. D. Smith,Mark H Lowenberg,Dorian P Jones,Michael I. Friswell +3 more
- 01 Jan 2012
TL;DR: High fidelity computational and experimental analysis has been performed upon a conventional aircraft wing with variable outer twist and dihedral angle to confirm initial trends in aerodynamic and structural efficiency observed through previous optimisation studies.
