ASDL - Aero-Structural Design Laboratory
ONGOING ACTIVITIES
- Automatic generation of low-medium fidelity aero-structural models.
- Fast structural sizing, aeroelastic analysis and optimization.
- Multi-objective topological optimization of compliant structures for morphing application.
- Active aeroelastic control, including wind tunnel validation.
FUTURE PLANS
- Development of conceptual-preliminary design procedures to analyze non linear highly flexible aircraft
