Active flutter suppression, which is a part of the group of flight vehicle technologies known as
active controls, is an important contributor to the effective solution of aeroelastic instability …

Abstract Diamond Wings, Strut-and Truss-Braced Wings, Box Wings, and PrandtlPlane, the
so-called “JoinedWings”, represent a dramatic departure from traditional configurations …

This paper presents a numerical and experimental wind tunnel study of aeroelastic shape
sensing using fiber-optic sensors. Strain measurements via both discrete and distributed …

This dissertation introduces an approach to effectively model and analyze the coupled
nonlinear aeroelasticity and flight dynamics of highly flexible aircraft. A reduced-order …

This paper presents an investigation into the gust response and wing structure load
alleviation of a 200-seater aircraft by employing a passive twist wingtip (PTWT). The …

The first successful heavier-than-air flight took place 100 years ago. The Wright Flier used
the motion of the pilot's hips to control the warping of the wing and, therefore, the vehicle roll …

This paper considers the aeroelastic optimization of a subsonic transport wing box under a
variety of static and dynamic aeroelastic constraints. Three types of design variables are …

Several minimum-mass aeroelastic optimization problems are solved to evaluate the
effectiveness of a variety of novel tailoring schemes for subsonic transport wings. Aeroelastic …

The effectiveness of a passive gust alleviation device (PGAD) mounted at the wingtip of
aircraft in conventional and flying-wing configurations have been studied in previous …

Because of their higher aerodynamic efficiency and lighter structural weight, thin composite
wings with large aspect ratios are increasingly being used for civil transport aircraft wing …
