    Phononic crystals based on lattice structures provide important wave dispersion characteristics as band structures, showing excellent compatibility with additive manufacturing. Although the lattice structures have shown the potential for vibration suppression, a design guideline to control the frequency range of the bandgap has not been well established. This paper studies the dispersion characteristics of plane wave propagation in lattice-based mechanical metamaterials to realize effective vibration suppression for potential aerospace applications. Triangular and hexagonal periodic lattice structures are mainly studied in this paper. The influence of different geometric parameters on the bandgap characteristics is investigated. A finite element approach with Floquet–Bloch’s principles is implemented to effectively evaluate the dispersion characteristics of waves in lattice structures, which is validated numerically and experimentally with a 3D-printed lattice plate. Based on numerical studies with the developed analysis framework, the influences of the geometric parameters of lattice plate structures on dispersion characteristics can mainly be categorized into three patterns: change in specific branches related to in-plane or out-of-plane vibrations, upward/downward shift in frequency range, and drastic change in dispersion characteristics. The results obtained from the study provide insight into the design of band structures to realize vibration suppression at specific frequencies for engineering applications.

    The recent advancement in additive manufacturing (AM) technology has enabled effective realizations of sophisticated structures such as lattice structures. However, if lattice structures are constructed by the AM technique, the geometry of final products slightly differs from its designed geometry although the geometrical precision of the AM technique has greatly improved in recent years. Therefore, it is important to consider the geometrical deviations induced by the AM fabrication. This study aims to investigate the geometrical accuracy and structural characteristics of lattice structures fabricated by AM technique. Thermomechanical simulations are performed to evaluate thermal deformations of lattice structures fabricated by the AM process. Structural characteristics of lattice structures with geometrical predictions of fabricated products are investigated by using a numerical homogenization method. For comparison purposes, tensile lattice specimens were fabricated by using EOS M290 printer. Based on the measurements, distortions in lattice geometries were observed, which would possibly affect the effective stiffnesses of the lattice structures. By considering the influences of the melt pool size and bulge due to the surface tension during the AM process, it was found that those influences on the geometrical deviations in the fabricated lattice structures were significant. In addition, it was confirmed that the estimation for the equivalent material properties of lattice structures could be improved by predicting the actual geometry of lattice unit cells. The present approach would offer effective evaluations of the actual geometry and structural characteristics of a lattice structure. The current approach to predict the actual geometry of lattice structures can also help to optimize process variables to realize the precise geometry of fabricated lattice structures by AM process.

    In this paper, the potentials of wing models fabricated by metal additive manufacturing for transonic flutter wind tunnel testing are investigated. The additive manufacturing technique would be a tool for the fast production of wind tunnel models at low cost and enable multiple experiments with various wing designs while precisely realizing designed geometries and structural properties for aeroelastic evaluations. The novelties in this paper are: 1) a concept of the transonic flutter wing model, which can be used to investigate phenomena involving transonic aeroelastic instabilities in transonic flutter wind tunnel testing, fabricated with the AM technique for cost-effective manufacturing and extension of design freedom, and 2) its design and manufacturing methodology combining the AM technique and post machining treatments. As a proof-of-concept study, this paper mainly investigates the feasibility of a transonic flutter wing model fabricated by the proposed methodology based on the AM technique and post-processing, which realizes not only aerodynamic shapes but also designed elastic and modal characteristics, to evaluate typical transonic aeroelastic responses such as the LCO and the transonic dip. The geometrical accuracy of additively manufactured wing models is firstly accessed. Structural/aeroelastic characteristics of an additively manufactured wing model for wind tunnel testing are then evaluated numerically and experimentally. Finally, the aeroelastic characteristics of the fabricated flutter wing model are also investigated by performing a transonic flutter wind tunnel experiment. Through a series of evaluations, the feasibility and capability of such AM-based transonic flutter wing models for transonic wind tunnel testing are demonstrated.

    By deliberately designing microscopic internal mechanisms, architected materials can achieve a variety of material properties without changing constituent materials. Integration of the architected materials into a structure as substructures has a good potential to enhance structural performance and realize wide design freedom. This paper explores the capabilities of multiscale approaches for lattice structures, which is a major mechanism in architected materials. The objectives of this paper are (1) to demonstrate the capabilities of the framework to evaluate stiffness characteristics of lattice structures with two different two-scale analysis approaches and (2) to assess the accuracies and validity ranges of both approaches for appropriate evaluations of lattice structures. The two-scale analysis framework consists of the computational homogenizations for the generalized stiffness (ABD) and 3D stiffness (C) matrices. Equivalent stiffness characteristics of the unit cell are obtained by computational homogenizations to effectively capture the macroscopic responses of lattice structures. This study provides a comprehensive correlation study between the prediction accuracies of the two-scale analysis approaches in terms of tensile, bending, and torsional stiffness characteristics for practical modeling and development of lattice structures. The study will contribute a guideline for effective designs of high-performance structures with architected materials.

    In this paper, an efficient aeroelastic model for morphing structures with corrugated panels is proposed, combining different fidelities of aerodynamic models. A finite element method with an actuation model is used to analyze the structural deformation of morphing structures. A vortex lattice method and Cartesian-grid-based computational fluid dynamics are individually coupled with the structural model to build the medium- and high-fidelity aeroelastic models. Three different morphing cases are simulated with the two fidelities of aeroelastic models to understand the influence of the model fidelity on the simulation results. Based on the comparison study, a new efficient aeroelastic model is proposed where the medium-fidelity aeroelastic model speeds up the calculations in the aeroelastic loop and the high-fidelity aeroelastic model computes accurate aerodynamic characteristics and necessary actuation loads. Computational time of the proposed method is half of the high-fidelity model while maintaining the computational accuracy.

    Morphing technology has been intensively studied in the last decades. Camber morphing is one of the most popular and effective types of morphing, and its aerodynamic advantages have been demonstrated. Although its aeroelasticity has been studied in previous research, the coupling between its aeroelasticity and the flight dynamics of the overall aircraft has not been investigated well. This study aims to understand the influence of the aeroelasticity of morphing control surfaces on the flight dynamics of the aircraft. For this objective, an aeroelastic flight simulation framework that can consider camber morphing is developed. For the structural model, finite shell elements are used to capture the behavior of the camber morphing structures. For aerodynamics, an unsteady vortex lattice method is used to estimate the unsteady aerodynamic loads efficiently. A rigid-body flight dynamics is coupled with the structural and aerodynamic model to construct the aeroelastic flight simulation framework. The flight motions of the aircraft with morphing elevators are simulated under open-loop control. The results demonstrated that the aeroelastic response of morphing elevators differs depending on the stiffness of the morphing structure. It is also shown that this leads to the different gusts that the aircraft with morphing elevator experiences severe altitude changes.

    Mechanical metamaterials are artificially manufactured materials with properties, which cannot be obtained from natural materials, consisting of deliberately designed microscopic internal structures. Those conceptual artificial materials are ready to fabricate with the advent of additive manufacturing technology. Recently, a class of metamaterials has been actively studied due to its potential for performance improvements and extensions of structural capabilities. Mechanical metamaterials can exhibit exotic material characteristics and/or macroscopic behaviors attributed to their micro/mesoscale internal structural designs such as truss or porous in μm/mm order in addition to material properties constructing the structural components. Mechanical metamaterials with unique properties and capabilities of vibration suppression/isolation are hoped to realize high-performance structures. In this paper, the dispersion characteristics of wave propagation in lattice-based mechanical metamaterials for vibration suppression will be studied. The objectives of this paper are 1) to develop an analysis framework, which enables effective dispersion analysis to design mechanical metamaterials, 2) to study dispersion characteristics of wave propagation in lattice-based mechanical metamaterials, and 3) to explore the feasibility and potential of lattice-based mechanical metamaterials for vibration suppression with an experimental approach. To efficiently evaluate the dispersion characteristics of waves in lattice-based mechanical metamaterials, a finite element approach with Floquet-Bloch’s principles is implemented. A unit cell of the periodically distributed structure is modeled as representative finite elements, and the wave dispersion properties of the unit cell are calculated with the analysis framework. Furthermore, the calculated dispersion characteristics are verified by both numerical analysis and experimental approaches. The triangular lattice structures demonstrated the potential as vibration-restraining structures by numerical and experimental evaluations.

    Aeroservoelastic characteristics of a morphing control surface with corrugated structures are investigated in this paper. The finite element structural model and the aerodynamic model with an unsteady vortex lattice method are used to analyze the aeroelastic response of a corrugated morphing control surface. The equation of motion for the corrugated morphing control surface is derived in the state-space form, and a classic LQR control technique is integrated to function the morphing structures as control surfaces. Considering the structural and control design parameters, the aeroservoelastic response of corrugated morphing control surfaces under continuous gusts is analyzed. Simulation results demonstrate that the flexible design of corrugations may lead to undesirable vibrations even with actuation control. It is also shown that the structural modes which play important roles in the lift control can change according to the structural design parameters. This work provides important insights into designing a morphing control surface with flexible structures such as corrugated structures.

    There is an emerging class of artificial materials, so-called mechanical metamaterials. By deliberately designing microscopic internal mechanisms, these materials exhibit exotic properties, which distinguish the mechanical metamaterials from natural materials. As additive manufacturing technology has been rapidly developed and its manufacturing quality has been improved, those conceptual artificial materials are ready to fabricate. This paper presents a decoupled two-scale analysis framework to efficiently evaluate the stiffness and strength characteristics of lattice-based mechanical metamaterials. Structural characteristics of lattice-based mechanical metamaterials are effectively captured by accommodating a computational homogenization method to lattice-based structures. In the computational homogenization procedure, a unit cell of the periodically distributed structure is modeled as representative finite elements. Equivalent stiffness properties of the unit cell are calculated based on the computational homogenization procedure. The equivalent structural properties are then used to perform macroscopic structural analysis of lattice-based structures in an effective manner. Similarly, a local/microscopic stress distribution within the periodic lattice unit cell is recovered by transforming macroscopic sectional loads, which are obtained from the macroscopic structural analysis, through a stress amplification matrix. The microscopic stress distribution obtained with the two-scale analysis can be used for strength evaluation. Subsequently, numerical results are validated by comparing them with experimental results providing actual behaviors of lattice-based mechanical metamaterials. This work presents the novel use of the multi-scale analysis scheme combining the computational homogenization method and the stress field transformation method enabling structural evaluations to design mechanical metamaterials with structural integrity. This study also demonstrates the feasibility and capability of the presented approach to effectively predict stiffness and strength characteristics of lattice-based structures.

    In this paper, an aeroelastic framework developed in the previous works has been extended for a geometrically nonlinear aeroelastic stability analysis. In the aeroelastic stability analysis, modal mass and stiffness matrices are constructed using shell finite elements with the corotational approach, which can take into account the geometric stiffening under large deformations. A generalized aerodynamic force matrix is derived by accommodating the unsteady vortex-lattice method based on a modal approach. The derived modal aeroelastic equations are solved using the p-k method. Individual modules to calculate generalized structural matrices with the corotational approach and aerodynamic forces based on the unsteady vortex-lattice method are verified. The present geometrically nonlinear aeroelastic framework for aeroelastic stability analysis is also validated in a comparison with an experimental result in the flutter wind tunnel test showing a reasonable accuracy for a prediction of flutter speed, while there still is room for further improvement in the estimation of flutter frequency. In addition, the present method allows studying the flutter characteristics of flexible wings with different incident angles, which cannot be evaluated by traditional linear flutter simulations. Finally, effects of geometric nonlinearity and large deformation on flutter characteristics of flexible and high-aspect-ratio wings were explored by using the present method. The present method can help to understand aeroelastic stability characteristics for such high-aspect-ratio wings.

    In this study, transient aeroelastic behaviors of corrugated morphing wings in a prescribed flight path are investigated. A simulation framework for the wings with corrugated control surfaces is developed. A shell finite element is used to model the composite corrugated morphing wings, and the mechanical properties of corrugations are homogenized to implement in the structural model. An unsteady vortex lattice method (UVLM) is coupled with the structural model to simulate the aeroelastic behaviors of the morphing wings. The prescribed 1-cos plunge motion is forced with corrugated morphing wings with different configurations, and the transient aeroelastic responses are analyzed. The simulation results demonstrate that the morphing structures passively reduce the influences of the plunge motion.

    <jats:p>Additive manufacturing (AM) technology has a potential to improve manufacturing costs and may help to achieve high-performance aerospace structures. One of the application candidates would be a wind tunnel wing model. A wing tunnel model requires sophisticated designs and precise fabrications for accurate experiments, which frequently increase manufacturing costs. A flutter wind tunnel testing, especially, requires a significant cost due to strict requirements in terms of structural and aeroelastic characteristics avoiding structural failures and producing a flutter within the wind tunnel test environment. The additive manufacturing technique may help to reduce the expensive testing cost and allows investigation of aeroelastic characteristics of new designs in aerospace structures as needed. In this paper, a metal wing model made with the additive manufacturing technique for a transonic flutter test is studied. Structural/aeroelastic characteristics of an additively manufactured wing model are evaluated numerically and experimentally. The transonic wind tunnel experiment demonstrated the feasibility of the metal AM-based wings in a transonic flutter wind tunnel testing showing the capability to provide reliable experimental data, which was consistent with numerical solutions.</jats:p>

    <p>In this paper, a new multi-fidelity aeroelastic framework for highly flexible wings is proposed. A corotational approach with a shell finite element is used to consider the geometrical nonlinearity produced by flexible wings. An unsteady vortex-lattice aerodynamic method and a fast unstructured CFD code are coupled with the structural model subject to the large deformations, providing different fidelity solutions. The developed geometrically nonlinear aeroelastic solutions with different fidelities are compared to evaluate accuracies and computational efficiencies. </p>

This additive manufacturing technology has a potential to improve manufacturing costs and may help to achieve high-performance aerospace structures. One of application candidates would be a wind tunnel wing model. A wing tunnel model requires sophisticated designs and precise fabrications for accurate experiments, which frequently increase manufacturing cost. At the same time, there are design trends of high aspect ratio wings to enhance flight performance of aircraft. Those wings may undergo large deformation during flights. Therefore, a geometrically nonlinear aeroelastic analysis of such flexible wings plays important role in design. In this paper, manufacturing accuracy and aeroelastic characteristics of an additively manufactured wing model are evaluated numerically and experimentally. The feasibility of such wings to use in wind tunnel tests is also demonstrated. In addition, a geometrically nonlinear aeroelastic analysis model, which have been developed in the previous study, is validated by comparing with results of the wind tunnel test for the additively manufactured highly flexible wing model. The effect of geometrical nonlinearity in aeroelastic characteristics of a highly flexible wing has been observed in the comparison between linear and nonlinear aeroelastic solutions and the wind tunnel result.</p>

    <p>In this paper, a flexible morphing wing with piezoelectric materials for morphing actuation is studied. The objectives of this paper are 1) to develop an integrated geometrically nonlinear electro-aeroelastic framework, which allows evaluating performances of flexible morphing wings with piezoelectric actuators, 2) to validate the developed analysis framework, and 3) to demonstrate the capability of the framework and explore the performance. This paper provides a description of the electro-aeroelastic equations of morphing wings taking into account piezoelectric effects, which can be used to actuate morphing wings. The electro-mechanical model is validated by comparing with experimental results. The validation with a single macro fiber composite showed a very good agreement between the experimental result and the simulation. The result of an actuation test with an integrated corrugated structure and macro fiber composite also reasonably agreed with the solution from the present code. Aeroelastic behaviors of a corrugated wing with the piezoelectric actuator are then explored. The camber morphing wing with the corrugated structure actuated by the piezoelectric actuator could provide a larger lift in the vicinity of the trailing edge. Such a camber morphing has a good potential to control aeroelastic response by wing morphing with piezoelectric actuation.</p>

    <p>Morphing aircraft technology has recently gained attention of many research groups by its potential for aircraft performance improvement and economic flight. Although the performance of conventional control surfaces is usually compromised in off-design flight conditions, the morphing technique may achieve optimal flight performance in various operations by to adaptively altering the wing shape during flight. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive review on morphing aircraft/wing technology, including morphing mechanisms or structures, skins, and actuation techniques as element technologies. Moreover, experimental and numerical studies on morphing technologies applying those elemental technologies are also introduced. Recent research on these technologies are particularly focused on in this paper with comparisons between developments in Japan and other countries. Although a number of experimental and numerical studies have been conducted by various research groups, there are still various challenges to overcome in individual elemental technologies for a whole morphing aircraft or wing systems. This review helps for researchers working in the field related to morphing aircraft technology to sort out current developments for morphing aircraft.</p>

    <p>Morphing technologies are attracting much attention as breakthrough technologies to improve the performance of aircrafts. Structural designing of morphing wings is one of the important challenges and corrugated panels are regarded as promising candidate materials for morphing wings. In this paper, designs of corrugated morphing wings for drag reduction are studied considering necessary actuation forces. Static aeroelastic models are constructed to assess the aerodynamic performances or deformations of morphing wings, and aeroelastic analyses are performed with multiple parameter settings. An objective function considering the drag coefficient and the necessary actuation force is prepared and the performance of each case is analyzed. Numerical results show that there is a desirable design parameter or actuation when the two evaluation components are considered at the same time.</p>

    To improve the fuel efficiency, commercial aircraft has recently had high aspect ratio wing. However, it increases the wing root bending moment and reduces the performance of wing strength. As a solution to this issue, adaptive wing structures are proposed. The adaptive wing means a wing which can change its shape in flight. The previous research shows that wing root bending moment can be decreased by using adaptive wing structures, but many analysis cases are needed for optimization of the wing root bending moment. This study focuses on the reduction of the high computational cost. A new method for Load Control using Superposition (LCS method) is suggested. By comparing the analysis result of LCS method with that of MSC/NASTRAN, the LCS method are verified. In addition, the LCS method is compared with geometrically nonlinear aeroelastic analysis to evaluate its accuracy for large deflection cases. The large flap angle causes the geometrically nonlinear effect, so it is suggested that the LCS method works only in range of about 10 degrees of flap angles.

    本研究では、遷音速域における衝撃波による境界層の剥離や大変形による迎角・曲率変化に起因した局所的な圧力変動や剥離、衝撃波振動等に関する流体構造連成メカニズムを解明する。そのために、独自の空力弾性解析法及びAMを応用した風洞試験法を発展させ、Detached Eddy Simulationを連成した解析法をも取り入れ、超高精度解析と高効率な試験を融合した「ハイブリッド」な空力弾性評価法を構築する。これにより、高精度解析における計算コストの問題を克服したうえで、空力弾性における諸現象を発生させる主要な因子を特定するため豊富なデータ取得も実現し、高速流における流体と構造の力学的相互作用を評価する。

    This study developed a multi-scale analysis framework to efficiently evaluate the stiffness and strength characteristics of mechanical metamaterials. Equivalent structural characteristics of mechanical metamaterials were effectively captured by accommodating a computational homogenization method to mechanical metamaterials. The obtained equivalent structural properties were used to perform multi-scale structural and aeroelastic simulations of a structure with the mechanical metamaterials by modeling the mechanical metamaterials as equivalent solid substructures. In addition, the manufacturing methodology for an integrated structure with mechanical metamaterials as substructures had also been established. Structural properties and functionalities with various designs of mechanical metamaterials were evaluated based on the numerical framework. This study demonstrated the feasibility and capability of such structures with mechanical metamaterials.
