Selective Compliance Aerofoils with Variable Stiffness Multi-stable Elements for Morphing Applications

Enlarged view: Project Illustration - Selective Compliance Aerofoils with Variable Stiffness Multi-stable Elements for Morphing Applications

A concurrent design and optimisation methodology is developed, aimed at a shape-adaptable solution addressing the conflicting requirements of morphing through the concept of stiffness variability. The distinct stiffness properties of each equilibrium configuration of bi-stable laminates strategically embedded within the distributed topology of compliant aerofoils are exploited to achieve global shape adaptation.
