Abstract

The cambered span morphing wing for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) can greatly improve its flight efficiency. In this work, a new flexible morphing wing that can achieve variable bending driven by shape memory alloy (SMA) is designed. The Morphing wing is composed of several morphing units with the same structure in series. The morphing unit is composed of two kinds of 0 Poisson’s ratio honeycomb structures and corrugated plate. The honeycomb structures have the same shape and different thickness. The theoretical models of 0 Poisson’s ratio honeycomb structures and corrugated plate structure are established and analyzed. The effects of different honeycomb structure thickness and corrugated structure thickness on the cambered ability of morphing wing is analyzed and verified by finite element simulation.
