Ground Structures-Based Topology Optimization of a Morphing Wing Using a Metaheuristic Algorithm

This paper presents multi-objective topology and sizing optimization of a morphing wing structure. The purpose of this paper is to design a new aircraft wing structure with a tapered shape for ribs, spars, and skins including a torsion beam for external actuating torques, which is anticipated to mod...
