Predicting Aerodynamic Loads on Highly Flexible Membrane Wings

Creator:

Carpenter, Trenton James

Abstract:

Through passive adaptation to incidental flow, flexible aerodynamic surfaces exploit effects of increased lift, delayed stall and disturbance rejection. Wings of birds, bats, and insects exhibit these passive effects, and at the same time through the use of structural state feedback sensed from the loads on the wing, active control...

Aircraft wing optimization using B-spline models and panel methods

Creator:

Jackson, Danielle Monique

Abstract:

This research investigates shape optimization process, using b-spline models and panel methods, to achieve a high lift to drag ratio for an aerodynamic structure. This research is a proof of concept for further research in aerodynamic shape optimization. The coupled process, involving the design and optimization of a random shape,...

Experiments on a low aspect ratio wing at low Reynolds numbers

Creator:

Morse, Daniel R.

Abstract:

At the start of the 21st century much of the focus of aircraft design has been turned to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) which generally operate at much lower speeds in higher risk areas than manned aircraft. One subset of UAVs are Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs) which usually are no larger...
