As an important part of the wing, skin deformation accuracy directly affect aerodynamic performance aircraft in different environments. Based on idea easy processing and deformation, a method for designing variable section thickness trailing edge camber wings is proposed. In this paper, firstly, length each segment 3~8 segments are optimized. Then results compared analyzed. Finally, correctness...

Microclimates play a prominent role in efforts to conserve species the face of climate change. However, climate-change research often relies on macroclimate data predict species’ responses change and may not accurately represent temperatures actually experienced by organisms. Our objective was characterize microclimates near southern boundary boreal biome, region seeing rapid declines poleward ...

The morphing wing trailing edge is an attractive aviation structure due to its shape-adaptive ability, which can effectively improve the aerodynamic performance of aircraft throughout whole flight. In this paper, a mechanical solution for variable camber (VCTE) based on multi-block rotating rib proposed. Parametric optimizations are conducted achieve smooth and continuous deformation rib. A pro...

Wind tunnel tests on a non-rotating, dynamically scaled wind turbine blade equipped with variable trailing edge geometry were carried out. The effectiveness of the system for active load reduction purposes, with the interaction between structural dynamics, aerodynamics and control was tested. The actuation of the adaptive trailing edge was based on a piezoelectric bender actuator. The full aero...
