Aero-Structural Optimization of Morphing Airfoils for Adaptive Wings
Aero-Structural Optimization of Morphing Airfoils for Adaptive Wings is a scholarly work by Paolo Ermanni, published in 2011 in ''Journal of Intelligent Material Systems and Structures''. The main subjects of the publication include aerospace engineering, aerodynamics, actuator, airfoil, parametrization, morphing, structural engineering, Active vibration control, mechanical engineering, Dielectric elastomers, computer science, and engineering. The design of an airfoil structure involves the disciplines of aerodynamics and structural mechanics, both of which are considered in the design methodology presented in this article.
