Analysis and Design of a Morphing Wing Tip using Multicellular Flexible Matrix Composite Adaptive Skins

The material presented in this thesis uses concepts of the finite element and doublet panel methods to develop a structural-aerodynamic coupled mathematical model for the analysis of a morphing wing tip composed of smart materials. Much research is currently being performed within many facets of eng...
