In this paper, the dynamic force analysis of a novel deployable mechanism, called as scissor-structural mechanism (SSM), for active camber and chord morphing have been presented. The mechanism is created via combination of several scissor-like-elements (SLEs). With a novel kinematic synthesis concept, various types of scissor-like-elements are assembled together to provide the desired airfoil geometries. The types (translational, polar), the number of scissor-like-elements, their orientations with respect to centerline of the airfoil and their distribution frequencies over the chord length are the design parameters, which allow designers to achieve all the possible geometric shapes. With the assumption of an existing fullycompliant wing skin, it is possible to adjust the wing profile to various desired airfoil geometries. With the help of developed computer routine, the mechanism is generated which yields the minimum possible design error. After the selection of mechanism, the position, velocity and acceleration analyses of the mechanism have been done. In order to prove aerodynamic efficiency of newly created airfoil geometries and obtain pressure distribution over the airfoil, 2D aerodynamic analyses have been done with the package program XFOIL. The flow characteristics used for the analysis are determined by the flight envelope of a generic UAV. Obtained pressure distribution is applied as the lumped force on the joints. By assigning the approximate link masses and mass centers, the dynamic force analysis of the mechanism has also been performed in order to estimate the required torque to drive the synthesized mechanism.

Static and dynamic analysis of shear deformable composite shells of revolution by semi-analytical approach Kayran, Altan (2013-10-18) In the present study, multi-segment numerical integration technique is applied for the static and dynamic analysis of macroscopically anisotropic shells of revolution including transverse shear deformation. Application of the multi-segment numerical integration technique is achieved through the use of finite exponential Fourier transform of the fundamental shell of revolution equations governing the static loading and free vibration of the shell of revolution. For the non-axisymmetrically loaded shells of r...
FREE VIBRATION CHARACTERISTICS OF COMPOSITE SHELLS OF REVOLUTION WITH VARIABLE STIFFNESS COEFFICIENTS Kayran, Altan (2008-07-09) In the present study, the effect of initial winding angle, and the starting edge of the winding operation on the variation of the thickness, stiffness coefficients and undamped free vibration characteristics of filament wound composite shells of revolution are investigated. Filaments are assumed to be placed along the geodesic fiber path on the surface of the shell of revolution resulting in the variation of the stiffness coefficients and thickness along the axis of the composite shell of revolution with ge...
Aerodynamic Modelling and Analysis of a Novel Mechanism for Chord and Camber Morphing Wing Şahin, Harun Levent; Çaklr, Bora Orçun; Yaman, Yavuz (2018-06-22) This paper presents the aerodynamic modelling and analysis of surfaces created by a novel deployable mechanism, which is composed of a four-bar linkage and a scissor-structural mechanism (SSM) which contains several scissor-like elements (SLEs). With the help of that mechanism, which is located inside the trailing portion of wing section, continuous adjustment of the airfoil is possible. In order to highlight the advantageous aerodynamic characteristics of newly created airfoil geometries via proposed SSM, ...
Free-Vibration Analysis of Ring-Stiffened Branched Composite Shells of Revolution Kayran, Altan (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2010-4) Application of the multisegment numerical integration technique is extended to the free-vibration analysis of macroscopically anisotropic filament-wound branched shells of revolution with ring stiffeners, considering the variation of the thickness and winding angle. The solution procedure is based on a modified-frequency trial method, which processes on the numerically integrated transformed fundamental shell equations that are obtained in terms of finite exponential Fourier transform of the fundamental she...
Dynamic performances of kinematically and dynamically adjustable planar mechanisms İyiay, Erdinç; Soylu, Reşit; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2003) In this thesis, the dynamic performances of kinematically and dynamically adjustable planar mechanisms have been investigated. An adjustable mechanism is here defined to be a mechanism where some of the kinematic and/or dynamic parameters are changed in a controlled manner in order to optimize the dynamic behaviour of the mechanism in spite of variable operating conditions. Here, variable operating conditions refer to variable load(s) on the mechanism and/or variable desired input motion. The dynamic behavi...
