| Abstract | This paper examines the feasibility of piezocomposite morphing airfoils and trailing edge control surfaces subjected to large dynamic pressures. Piezocomposite airfoils have been shown to be feasible on small unmanned aerial vehicles, subject to relatively low dynamic pressures, operating in the Reynold’s number range of 50k to 250k. The operating range of interest in this paper has a cruising Reynold’s number range between 250k and 1M subject to relatively large wing loading. This range of Reynold’s numbers has not been explored in detail due to the large aerodynamic loads produced. Based on the authors’ previous research on small unmanned aircraft, the proposed concept is a variable-camber airfoil that employs a continuous inextensible surface and surface-bonded piezocomposite actuators. To achieve camber-morphing, multiple piezocomposite actuating elements are applied to the upper and lower surfaces. A case study is performed to determine the design parameters of the airfoil. The parameters to be varied include the substrate thickness of the baseline airfoil, leading edge, and piezocomposite bonded areas. In addition, the positions of the piezocomposites are varied. The analysis is performed using a coupled fluid-structure interaction model assuming static aeroelastic behavior. A voltage sweep is conducted on each airfoil design while being subjected to 70 m/s free stream velocity. The sweep examines the lift coefficient and lift-to-drag ratio of the airfoil over the full operational range. This research lays the groundwork for determining the feasibility of piezocomposite morphing airfoil and trailing edge concepts for use in applications subject to large dynamic pressures. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
