This study presents the design and analysis of a novel hybrid trailing edge control surface that is capable to perform both camber and decamber morphing. The design was conducted with CATIA V5-6R2012 package program. Structural analyses were performed with Finite Element Method by using ANSYS® Workbench™ v14.0 package program both in in-vacuo condition and under aerodynamic loading. The aerodynamic loads were calculated by Computational Fluid Dynamics analyses. The required aerodynamic mesh was generated by Pointwise® V17.2 R2 package program, and SU2 (Stanford University Unstructured) V3.2.1 open source software was used as flow solver. The results prove that the designed control surface is capable of performing both camber and decamber morphing both in in-vacuo condition and under aerodynamic loading.

In this article, the design and analysis of a hybrid trailing edge control surface of an unmanned aerial vehicle are presented. The structural design was performed to increase and decrease the camber of the control surface to match selected airfoil profiles. The design was first analyzed with the help of finite element method to assess the morphing capability. The morphed control surface was then analyzed aerodynamically and comparisons with the original target profiles were made. According to the aerodynam...

In this thesis, the design and analysis of a hybrid trailing edge control surface of a fully morphing unmanned aerial vehicle wing having the ability to perform both camber and decamber morphings were conducted. The design of the control surface was done by CATIA V5-6R2012 package program. Two distinct designs, so-called open cell and closed cell designs were initially analyzed via Finite Element Method by using the commercial software ANSYS Workbench v14.0 in in-vacuo condition. Several trade-off studies i...
Structural analysis of morphing control surfaces
Tıraş, Harun; Yaman, Yaman; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2017)
In this thesis, design and analysis of a hybrid trailing edge control surface is performed. Only camber motion and twisting motion of the trailing edge control surface are considered. There are four control surface configurations that are analyzed. For the first configuration, servo actuators actuating the control surface are inside the control surface volume and control surface is without pre-twist. For the second case, the control surface is pre-twisted and actuators are inside the control surface volume....
Full-Wave Electromagnetic Optimisation of Corrugated Metallic Reectors Using a Multigrid Approach
KARAOVA, Gokhan; ALTINOKLU, Askin; Ergül, Özgür Salih (2018-01-19)
A multigrid optimisation strategy is introduced to design passive metallic reflectors with corrugated shapes. The strategy is based on using genetic algorithms at multiple grids and shaping the metal sheets, starting from coarse details to fine tunings. This corresponds to a systematic expansion of the related optimisation space, which is explored more efficiently in comparison to a brute-force optimisation without using grid. By employing the multilevel fast multipole algorithm to analyse the electromagnet...
