A compliant polymorphing wing for small UAVs

This paper presents the development of a novel compliant polymorphing wing capable of chord and camber morphing for small UAVs. The morphing wing can achieve up to 10% chord extension and ±20° camber changes. The design, modeling, sizing, manufacturing and mechanical testing of the wing are detailed. The polymorphing wing consists of one continuous front spar fixed to the fuselage and a rear spar on each side of the wing. Each rear spar can translate in the chordwise direction (chord morphing) and rotate around itself (camber morphing). A flexible elastomeric latex sheet is used as the skin to cover the wing and maintain its aerodynamic shape whilst allowing morphing. The loads from the skin are transferred to the spars using the compliant cellular ribs that support the flexible skin and facilitate morphing. Pre-tensioning is applied to the skin to minimize wrinkling when subject to aerodynamic and actuation loads. A rack and pinion actuation system, powered by stepper motors, is used for morphing. Aero-structural design, analysis and sizing are conducted. Performance comparison between the polymorphing wing and the baseline wing (non-morphing) shows that chord morphing improves aerodynamic efficiency at low angles of attack while camber morphing improves efficiency at high angles of attack.     

基于中弧线曲率控制的压气机叶型优化

为提高压气机叶型优化设计水平,基于中弧线曲率控制方法编写了压气机叶片造型程序,将中弧线曲率控制参数作为优化变量,结合粒子群寻优算法对传统可控扩散叶型(CDA)进行了优化研究。结果表明:基于中弧线曲率控制的叶片造型程序能够对CDA叶型进行较好的拟合,拟合叶型的气动性能与设计要求较符。优化叶型在设计点的总压损失降低了约6.34%,优化叶型总压损失随攻角变化较为平缓。在一定攻角范围内,叶型中弧线曲率峰值的前移能够将吸力面马赫数峰值前移,提高叶型吸力面的扩压能力,降低总压损失。在大攻角工况下,改进的中弧线曲率分布能够显著降低叶型总压损失。将中弧线曲率控制参数作为优化变量进行CDA叶型的优化是可行的。

最小喉道面积比对多级轴流压气机性能影响

为了研究最小喉道面积比对多级轴流压气机性能的影响,开发了一套基元叶栅最小喉道面积比的计算程序。通过对基元叶栅进行最小喉道面积比计算,得到压气机叶片沿展向的最小喉道面积比分布,同时分析了转子和静子的最小喉道面积比分布规律。最后采用修改基元叶型的前段弯度比与最大厚度来改变基元叶栅的最小喉道面积比分布,分析了不同最小喉道面积比分布对多级轴流压气机性能的影响。结果表明,压气机的阻塞流量与最小喉道面积比成正相关,并且存在最佳前段弯度比使压气机设计点效率与压比达到最大,最大厚度变小能改善压气机整体性能。
