Aerodynamic and Electromechanical Design, Modeling and Implementation Of Piezocomposite Airfoils

Piezoelectrics offer high actuation authority and sensing over a wide range of frequencies. A Macro-Fiber Composite is a type of piezoelectric device that offers structural flexibility and high actuation authority. A challenge with piezoelectric actuators is that they require high voltage input; how...
