Morphing wing optimization for steady level flight
Korpe, Durmus S.; Özgen, Serkan (2017-11-01)
This paper presents the basic results of the morphing wing planform optimization of an experimental unmanned air vehicle for minimum drag at steady level flight. The aerodynamic design tool that consists of the three-dimensional panel method, two-dimensional boundary layer solution and generalized reduced gradient method-based optimization is appropriate for fixed wing and morphing wing conceptual and preliminary design. The morphing concept is implemented into the solution with the geometric constraints of...
Synthesis, Analysis, and Design of a Novel Mechanism for the Trailing Edge of a Morphing Wing
Şahin, Harun Levent; Yaman, Yavuz (MDPI AG, 2018-12-11)
In the design and analysis of morphing wings, several sciences need to be integrated. This article tries to answer the question, “What is the most appropriate actuation mechanism to morph the wing profile?” by introducing the synthesis, analysis, and design of a novel scissor-structural mechanism (SSM) for the trailing edge of a morphing wing. The SSM, which is deployable, is created via a combination of various scissor-like elements (SLEs). In order to provide mobility requirements, a four-bar linkage (FBL...
Structural design and evaluation of an adaptive camber wing
Sakarya, Evren; Seber, Güçlü; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2010)
This study presents a camber morphing concept as an alternative to existing plain flap or aileron type hinged control surfaces used in wings. Structural aspects of the concept are investigated with static nonlinear finite element analyses by using MSC Nastran. In order to assess the aerodynamic characteristics; CFD based 2D solutions are obtained using ANSYS Fluent. The camber morphing concept is applied to the full scale hingeless control surface and implemented in the adaptive camber wing. Hingeless contr...
Aero-structural analysis of the morphing trailing edge control surface of a fully morphing unmanned aerial vehicle wing
Kalkan, Uğur; Şahin, Melin; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2017)
This thesis investigates the aero-structural analysis of the morphing trailing edge control surface of a fully morphing unmanned aerial vehicle wing for some camber morphing missions. Designed control surface was structurally analyzed with Finite Element Method using ANSYS Workbench v14.0 Static Structural module. Open Cell, Closed Cell designs with some material and thickness changes were studied in order to find the optimum design in terms of minimum weight and structural relevance. Analyses were both per...
Aerodynamic modelling and optimization of morphing wings
Körpe, Durmuş Sinan; Özgen, Serkan; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2014)
This thesis deals with aerodynamic optimization of morphing wings under performance and geometric constraints. In order to perform the optimization process, flow solvers computing aerodynamic lift and drag were developed as a function evaluator. A gradient based optimization method was used in order to develop the optimization algorithm. Three dimensional panel method solver was developed in order to obtain lift, pressure drag and induced drag values for a finite wing. Obtained results were compared with di...
