Bending mechanics of cylindrical skins for morphing aerospace applications
Shape-changing aerospace structures explore the trade-offs between aerodynamic performance and actuation efficiency. Herein, a morphing cylinder is optimized to minimize both its work to actuate in bending as well as radial deviations. Based on derived linear elastic mechanics of a cylindrical shell...
