Novel Approach of Airfoil Shape Representation Using Modified Finite Element Method for Morphing Trailing Edge

This study presents a novel approach to parameterize the geometry of a morphing trailing-edge flap that allows its aerodynamics to be optimized while capturing the expected structural behavior of the flap. This approach is based on the finite frame element method, whereby the initial flap surface is...
