Abstract:Presented within this thesis is the preliminary design phases for the development of a morphing winglet mechanism. The mathematical models and analyses conducted within this thesis provide the means for bringing the design concept stage to the testing and validation phases. The kinematic modeling of a proposed design is developed. The inverse kinematics of the system are used to determine the required inputs to meet the range of motion. The velocity models for the system are established for both the forward an… Show more
