Researchers and engineers design modern aircraft wings to reach high levels of efficiency with the main outcome of weight saving and airplane lift-to-drag ratio increasing. Future commercial aircraft need to be mission-adaptive to improve their operational efficiency. Twistable trailing edge could be used to improve aircraft performances during climb and off-design cruise conditions in response to variations in speed, altitude, air temperature, and other flight parameters. Indeed, “continuous” span-wise twist of the wing trailing edge could provide significant reduction of the wing root bending moment through redistribution of the aerodynamic load leading to an increase of the payload/structural weight ratio. Within the framework of the Clean Sky 2 (CS2) European research project, the authors focused on the preliminary design of a full-scale composite multifunctional tab retrofitting the outboard morphing Fowler flap of a turboprop regional aircraft. The investigation domain of the novel device is equal to 5.15 meters in span-wise direction and 10% of the local wing chord. The structural and kinematic design process of the actuation system is completely addressed: two rotary electromechanical motors, placed in the root and tip flap sections, are required to activate the inner mechanisms enabling delta twist angles up to 10 degrees along the outboard region when the flap is stowed in the wing. The structural layout of the thin-walled closed-section composite tab represents a promising concept to balance the conflicting requirements between load-carrying capability and shape adaptivity in morphing lightweight structures. The main design parameters are optimized to minimize actuation torque required for twisting while providing proper flexural rigidity to withstand limit aerodynamic pressure distributions for large airplanes. Finally, the embedded system functionality of the actuation system coupled with the composite wing trailing edge is fully investigated by means of detailed finite element simulations. Results of actuation system performances, and aeroelastic deformations considering operative aerodynamic loads demonstrate the potential of the proposed structural concept to be energy efficient, and lightweight for real aircraft implementation.

The main goal of this study is the optimization of vibration reduction on helicopter blade by using macro fiber composite (MFC) actuator under pressure loading. Due to unsteady aerodynamic conditions, vibration occurs mainly on the rotor blade during forward flight and hover. High level of vibration effects fatigue life of components, flight envelope, pleasant for passengers and crew. In this study, the vibration reduction phenomenon on helicopter blade is investigated. 3D helicopter blade model is used to perform the aeroelastic behavior of a helicopter blade. Blade design is created by Spaceclaim and finite element analysis is conducted by ANSYS 19.0. Generated model are solved via Fluent by using two-way fluid-solid coupling analysis, then the analyzed results (all aerodynamic loads) are directly transferred to the structural model. Mechanical results (displacement etc.) are also handed over to the Fluent analysis by helping fluid-structure interaction interface. Modal and harmonic analysis are performed after FSI analysis. Shark 120 unmanned helicopter blade model is used with NACA 23012 airfoil. The baseline of the blade structure consists of D spar made of unidirectional Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer +45°/−45° GFRP skin. MFC, which was developed by NASA’s Langley Research Center for the shaping of aerospace structures, is applied on both upper and lower surfaces of the blade to reduce the amplitude in the twist mode resonant frequency. D33 effect is important for elongation and to observe twist motion. To foresee the behavior of the MFC, thermo-elasticity analogy approach is applied to the model. Therefore, piezoelectric voltage actuation is applied as a temperature change on ANSYS. The thermal analogy is validated by using static behavior of cantilever beam with distributed induced strain actuators. Results for cantilever beam are compared to experimental results and ADINA code results existing in the literature. The effects of fiber orientation of MFC actuator and applied voltage on vibration reduction on helicopter blade are represented. The study shows that torsion mode determines the optimum placement of actuators. Fiber orientation of the MFC has few and limited influences on results. Additionally, the voltage applied on MFC has strong effects on the results and they must be selected according to applied model.

Morphing winglets are innovative aircraft devices capable to adaptively enhance aircraft lift distribution throughout the flight mission while providing augmented roll and yaw control capability. Within the scope of the Clean Sky 2 REG IADP, this paper deals with nonlinear simulations of a regional aircraft wing equipped with active morphing winglets in manoeuvring conditions. The fault tolerant morphing winglet architecture is based on two independent and asynchronous control surfaces with variable camber and differential settings capability. The mechanical system is designed to face different flight static and dynamic situations by a proper action on the movable control tabs. The potential for reducing wing and winglet loads by means of the winglet control surfaces is numerically assessed by means of static aeroelastic analyses, using a feedforward manoeuvre load alleviation controller. An electro-mechanical Matlab/Simulink model of the actuation architecture is used as design tool to preliminary evaluate the complete system performance and the ability to cope with the expected morphing aeroshapes. Then, the aeroelastic model of the aircraft is combined with the nonlinear simulator of the response of the winglet actuation system to evaluate a symmetric and asymmetric manoeuvres obtained by a sudden deflection of the main control surfaces. The use of the morphing winglet tabs shows to alleviate the wing loads in such conditions. The introduction of the dynamic actuator model leads to a reduction of the performances with respect to predictions of the static analyses but a reduction of the manoeuvre loads can still be observed.

Exploiting mechanical instabilities and elastic nonlinearities is an emerging means for designing deployable structures. This methodology is applied here to investigate and tailor a morphing component used to reduce airframe noise, known as a slat-cove filler (SCF). The vortices in the cove between the leading edge slat and the main wing are among the important sources of airframe noise. The concept of an SCF was proposed in previous works as an effective means of mitigating slat noise by directing the airflow along an acoustically favorable path. A desirable SCF configuration is one that minimizes: (i) the energy required for deployment through a snap-through event; (ii) the severity of the snap-through event, as measured by kinetic energy, and (iii) mass. Additionally, the SCF must withstand cyclical fatigue stresses and displacement constraints. Both composite and shape memory alloy (SMA)-based SCFs are considered during approach and landing maneuvers because the deformation incurred in some regions may not demand the high strain recoverable capabilities of SMA materials. Nonlinear structural analyses of the dynamic behavior of a composite SCF are compared with analyses of similarly tailored SMA-based SCF and a reference, uniformly thick superelastic SMA-based SCF. Results show that by exploiting elastic nonlinearities, both the tailored composite and SMA designs decrease the required actuation energy compared to the uniformly thick SMA. Additionally, the choice of composite material facilitates a considerable weight reduction where the deformation requirement permits its use. Finally, the structural behavior of the SCF designs in flow are investigated by means of preliminary fluid-structure interaction analysis.

In this paper, an hybrid mass dampers (HMD) and its control law are studied. Based on a optimal tuned mass damper (TMD), it is a one degree of freedom (dof) mass-spring system associated with an electromagnetic system. The passive damping is provided by the coil-magnet combination coupled with a tunable load. The passive resonator has been modify to become “dual”, a second coil-magnet combination has been had on the same dof to create an active part. The control law is a modified velocity feedback with phase compensator. The proposed hybrid system controller is hyperstable and ensure a fail-safe behavior. The HMD is experimentally tested at 1:1 scale. It is carried out on a main structure suspended by flexible blades. The numerical model, with experimental parameters identification, provides good results. Under shock disturbance, experimental results show the ability of this system to react quickly and dissipate energy in comparison with the passive one.

Localized reinforcement of composites employed to manufacture parts for the transport industries is making possible the lightweighting of components that have a much sought-after effect in the reduction of CO2 and NOx emissions. However, its realization, through the removing of mass where it is not required and reinforcement added to areas more prone to stress from working loads, relies on the development of novel manufacturing processes that can create structures whose performance is on a par with their solid counterparts, but at a fraction of the weight and at an affordable production cost. In this work we exploit the use of a very weak and safe magnetic field to control the location and orientation of functionalized discontinuous carbon fibers within a polymeric structural (polyurethane) foam to create performance-optimized composites. Two wet-chemistry methods (i.e. in-situ precipitation-deposition and amine-co-adjuvated electrodeposition of magnetite) to transform commercial carbon fiber into a magnetically active form were explored. The resulting fibers were analyzed and characterized through a set of physico-chemical tests. The functionalized fibers were then embedded at 3 different %vol contents in the polymeric matrix at given locations and with a desired alignment. Their mechanical performance (incl. compression, tension) was assessed and benchmarked against both a similar %volumetric content but non-functionalized-reinforcement (i.e. randomly distributed) composites and to non-reinforced matrices. In the two sets of reinforced composites (random and aligned) there is a positive correlation between stiffness, yield strength and strain with increasing %vol content. Both sets outperformed the non-reinforced matrix, demonstrating good fiber adhesion within the matrix and successful load transfer from matrix to fiber. The magnetically aligned composites generally outperformed the non-functionalized ones in terms of stiffness and strength at yield.

The dynamic behavior of a Duffing-Holmes oscillator subjected to a Hybrid Position Feedback (HPF) controller is investigated. The so-called hybrid controller is a combination of two controllers, namely, the Negative Position Feedback (NPF), and Positive Position Feedback (PPF) controllers. The controller uses the inertial properties of the structure around its stable positions to achieve large displacements by effectively destabilizing the system using an NPF controller. Once the unstable equilibrium is reached, the system is stabilized to the target stable equilibrium using the PPF controller. This dynamic switch of controllers creates the HPF control concept, which specifically enables the monotonic and controlled transition between the states of bistable systems such as the Duffing-Holmes oscillator. This concept can be implemented to morphing structures such as bistable wings, wind turbine blades, and deployable structures. In this paper, a detailed response type and stability analyses of a Duffing-Holmes oscillator controlled by the HPF controller are presented. First, the response types for the components of the HPF, NPF and PPF controllers are analyzed individually. For the NPF controller, three response types are defined. These are intra-well, single cross-well, and multiple cross-well response types describing the possible responses. For the PPF controller, only two response types are defined. These are stabilized and not-stabilized, since the role of the PPF controller is to generate an attractor to the desired stable equilibrium. Finally, the complete HPF controller is analyzed in terms of response type. In this case, three response types are defined: intra-well, single cross-well and multiple cross-well. The paper summarizes all the response types with detailed analyses, and recommends controller parameters for best control performance.

Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) actuators operate via a nonlinear and hysteretic relationship between input power and mechanical motion. This nonlinearity presents a serious challenge when developing methods for controlling these actuators. Because this hysteresis and nonlinearity is caused by the crystal phase transformation however, the SMA constitutive and kinetic models can be written in Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) form, with the partial derivative of crystal phase fraction with respect to temperature as the varying parameter. This allows a SMA system to be written in a state-space format where the coefficients in the state matrices vary as a function of the state variables, allowing for the application of powerful linear system analysis tools to this model without simplifying assumptions. This LPV model can then be used to create an estimator for the system, allowing for real-time approximations of the system states, including temperature and phase fraction. This paper presents the derivation of one such LPV model and explores its ability to accurately represent a physical SMA actuator system by comparison with an instrumented SMA muscle system.

The aerodynamic foil bearing is a special type of air bearing in which the flexible foil structure between rotor and rigid housing supports the rotor bearing system with a greater robustness against thermal distortion and production misalignments. In such bearings, the generation of an aerodynamic pressure in the lubricating film after reaching the lift-off speed prevents the solid contact between rotor and foil structure. Since many static and dynamic properties of air foil bearings strongly depend on the inner contour of the bearing, the idea of an adaptive air foil bearing (AAFB) is developed to optimize the bearing’s performance at different operating points. This paper concentrates on a semi-analytical model based on plate theory using Ritz method for simulating the static shape control of piezoelectrically actuatable supporting segments for an AAFB under different loading conditions. The elastic suspension of the supporting segments and symmetries of the bearing are considered in the modeling. After validation by means of FEM analyses and experimental tests the influence of geometry and material is examined in a parametric study. Later on, the model is used for parameter optimization in order to achieve the most effective shape morphing.

In such bearings, the generation of an aerodynamic pressure in the lubricating film after reaching the lift-off speed prevents the solid contact between rotor and foil structure. Since many static and dynamic properties of air foil bearings strongly depend on the inner contour of the bearing, the idea of an adaptive air foil bearing (AAFB) is developed to optimize the bearing’s performance at different operating points.

Subordinate Oscillator Arrays (SOAs) have been shown to be effective methods for band-limited vibration attenuation. However, SOAs are very sensitive to error in parameter distributions. Slight disorder in structural parameters can render an SOA ineffective. Recent research has shown that Piezoelectric SOAs (PSOAs) provide an alternative that can limit the degradation of the frequency response function due to the disorder. The capacitive shunts attached to such SOAs can be tuned to change overall electromechanical properties of the SOA post-fabrication. The conventional methods of tuning, which study the Frequency Response Function (FRF) of each oscillator in the array, can be an extremely time-consuming process. To apply a systematic approach to tuning, an estimate of the disorder in structural property distributions can be crucial. In this paper, we discuss a simple and effective methodology to estimate the actual structural parameters and subsequently tune the PSOA to ameliorate the effect of disorder. We derive an adaptive estimation technique for PSOAs and present numerical results that demonstrate improved vibration attenuation of this approach.
