Construction of a Morphing Wing Rib Actuated by a NiTi Wire

The main goal of this paper is to analyze if it is feasible to employ a trained shape memory alloy wire as a linear actuator to modify the camber of a morphing wing rib. In order to achieve this purpose, a morphing rib with a compliant trailing edge was proposed, developed, and subjected to structur...
