Abstract:
To improve the low aerodynamic efficiency of existing mechanical deformed wing structures, an intelligent wing with continuous smooth deformation of trailing edge was designed. The marco-fiber composite (MFC) was used as drives, and the carbon fiber reinforced composites were applied as the supporting part. Based on the experiment, the deformation ability of the wing under the direct current load was investigated by changing the voltages. The dynamic characteristics of the wing were investigated by changing the amplitudes and frequencies of alternating current (AC) and transverse excitations. Results show that the deflection angle of the trailing edge of the wing is approximately proportional to the driving voltage, and the maximum deflection angle is 4.7°. The vibration amplitudes of the outer wing part are larger than that of the inner part, and the stability of the outer wing part is weaker than that of the inner side. This study provides a reference for the structural design and dynamic experimental study of the deformed wing driven by piezoelectric materials.
