This paper will explore the technology behind corrugated model morphing wings and their potential benefits to society. The two major models of corrugated morphing wings will be examined and explained. In order to provide background, the technology and shape behind all morphing wings will also be examined. The applications of these wings will then be explored. Using data from wind tunnel testing...

an aircraft wing needs to display different mechanical behavior in different directions. 1- stiffness in the spanwise (transverse to the corrugation) direction which enables the aerodynamic and inertial loads to be carried. 2- compliance in the chordwise (corrugation) direction which would allow shape changes and increases in surface area; whereas a corrugated sheet due to their special geometr...

The morphing of an air vehicle is to change its shape and size substantially during flight. Thus, the morphing vehicle is to achieve a broader range of operational modes, all of which will maximize the vehicle performance throughout its mission profile. The dream of human flight has been to mimic birds or insect flights in similar manner since the days of Leonardo da Vinci. Our current aeronaut...

Sound morphing is one of the successful synthesis technologies for recent computer music, and several studies have been reported on this subject. We have proposed a sound morphing algorithm based on a sinusoidal model. In this paper, a correspondence search algorithm is improved, which is core technology of morphing based on a sinusoidal model. Then wider applications of the algorithm are intro...

The development of innovative adaptive structures on UAVs (and UUVs), such as morphing wings, can potentially reduce system complexity by eliminating control surfaces and their auxiliary equipment. This technology has the potential of allowing a UAV to adapt to different mission requirements or executing a particular mission more effectively. The first part of the paper deals with a review of m...

OBJECTIVE Morphing is an image processing technology that transforms one image into another by generating a series of intermediate synthetic images. The ability to perform morphing, once restricted to high-end graphics workstations, is now widely available for desktop computers. We investigated the potential use of morphing for displaying radiographic images. MATERIALS AND METHODS Morphing wa...

In this paper, we propose a new method for morphing between two polygonal, possibly non-simply connected, shapes in the plane. The method is based on reconstructing an xy-monotone surface whose extreme cross-sections coincide with the given shapes. The surface generated by our algorithm does not contain any self-intersections, does not change the topologies of the input slices, does not contain...

This paper shows how multi-dimensional functions, describing the operation of complex equipment, can be learned. The functions are points in a shape space, each produced by morphing a prototypical function located at its origin. The prototypical function and the space’s dimensions, which define morphological operations, are learned from a set of existing functions. New ones are generated by ave...

Conventional aircraft use discrete flight control surfaces to maneuver during flight. The gaps and discontinuities of these generate drag, which degrades aerodynamic power efficiencies. Morphing technology aims replace conventional wings with advanced that can change their shape the minimum possible induced drag. This paper presents MataMorph-3, a fully morphing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) ca...
