Crack propagation in buckling plates: test results and a simplified numerical approach

Julia Bierbaum, Peter Horst

The purpose of this paper is to present the first results of tests where cracks lie in the tension field of a shear forced aluminium panel. The paper's main focus is on the crack…

Design of a smart leading edge device for low speed wind tunnel tests in the European project SADE

Markus Kintscher, Martin Wiedemann, Hans Peter Monner, Olaf Heintze, Timo Kühn

The purpose of this paper is to describe the pre‐design and sizing of a smart leading edge section which is developed in the project SADE (Smart High Lift Devices for Next…

Unified approach to the characterization of coupled composite laminates: Hygro‐thermally curvature‐stable configurations

Christopher York

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate new design concepts for 24 classes of laminate, which have been derived as part of an ongoing study on the development of a unified…

Innovative streamline‐flow preserving actuation strategies for wing airfoil nose

Giordano Tomassetti, Salvatore Ameduri, Antonio Carozza

The purpose of this paper is to focus on a morphing architecture, conceived to produce droop nose effect, thus preserving high lift performance and laminar flow.

Development of flexible matrix composites (FMC) for fluidic actuators in morphing systems

Johannes Kirn, Thomas Lorkowski, Horst Baier

This paper seeks to focus on material combinations for flexible matrix composites (FMCs) and the production methods thereof. These materials enable a high flexibility in one…
