Performance Improvement of Composite Wings through Aeroelastic Tailoring and Modern Control.

Abstract

The research has been carried out simultaneously on three aspects of aircraft wings performance optimization, as follows: (1) Structural tailoring and modern control of thin-walled model of composite aircraft wings; (2) Structural tailoring of a low-aspect ratio plate model of composite aircraft wings; and (3) Integrated structural design and vibration control by multiobjective optimization. Significant progress has been made on all fronts.
