Mechanical Properties of Candidate Materials for Morphing Wings

The research presented in this thesis investigates the mechanical properties of candidate materials that could be used as a skin for a morphing wing. A morphing wing is defined as a wing that changes shape. Although engineers have been designing different morphing wing configurations, there has been...
