| Summary: | Performing the biomimetic morphing method on a Micro Air Vehicle (MAV) wing is very challenging tasks due to the MAV wing size limitation, limited energy budgets, complicated morphing mechanism and complex aeroelastic interactions. These issues had restricted the application of morphing wing on MAV wing platform. As a result, the impact of twist morphing on MAV wing aerodynamics and structural performances was not fully understood. Thus, this thesis presents the investigation of wing structural, aerodynamics performance and flow structure formations on a basic twist morphing MAV wing named as Twist Morphing wing. A series of morphing force intensity was imposed on Twist Morphing wing design to elucidate the impact of twist morphing mobility. Fully coupled Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) simulation is the main methodology used in this works. The wing structural and airflow field problems over Twist Morphing wing were solved based on a three-dimensional (3D) linear quasi- static structural coupled with steady state, incompressible Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes - Shear Stress Turbulence (RANS–SST) flow… |
