Advanced Design of a Full-Scale Active Morphing Droop Nose

Atmospheric Full Scale Testing of a Morphing Trailing Edge Flap System for Wind Turbine Blades

A novel Active Flap System (AFS) has been developed at DTU Wind Energy, as a result of a 3-year R&D project following almost 10 years of innovative research in this field. The full scale AFS comprises an active deformable trailing edge has been tested at the unique rotating test facility at the Risø Campus of DTU Wind Energy in Denmark. The design and instrumentation of the wing section and the...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

RTM Production Monitoring of the A380 Hinge Arm Droop Nose Mechanism: A Multi-Sensor Approach

This research presents a case study of production monitoring on an aerospace composite component: the hinge arm of the droop nose mechanism on the Airbus A380 wing leading edge. A sensor network composed of Fibre Bragg Gratings, capacitive sensors for cure monitoring and thermocouples was embedded in its fibre reinforced lay-up and measurements were acquired throughout its Resin Transfer Mouldi...

Full-scale experimental verification of resetable semi-active stiffness dampers

Because of many advantages over other control systems, semi-active control devices have received considerable attention for applications to civil infrastructures. A variety of different semi-active control devices have been studied for applications to buildings and bridges subject to strong winds and earthquakes. Recently, a new semi-active control device, referred to as the resetable semi-acti...
