Morphing wings have a large potential to improve the overall aircraft performances, in a way
like natural flyers do. By adapting or optimising dynamically the shape to various flight …

This paper presents an extensive review of the developments in the aeroelasticity of
morphing aircraft that occurred in the last decade (from 2009 to 2020). It focuses mainly on …

A traditional aircraft is optimized for only one or two flight conditions, not for the entire flight
envelope. In contrast, the wings of a bird can be reshaped to provide optimal performance at …

Sandwich structures are important innovative multifunctional structures with the advantages
of low density and high performance. Creative design for sandwich structures is a design …

Flat sheets patterned with folds, cuts or swelling regions can deform into complex three-
dimensional shapes under external stimuli,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,–. However, current strategies require …

The wide-ranging applications of industrial polymers are limited due to their poor surface
properties like low free energy, dynamic nature, and ineffective adhesion with self or other …

Here, a co-extrusion-based 3D printing technology was applied to integrally manufacture
continuous fiber reinforced composite trapezoidal corrugated sandwich structures …

The vibration characteristics of sandwich panels with a hierarchical composite honeycomb
sandwich core were investigated in this study. An orthotropic constitutive model of the …
