Aeroelastic behavior of a composite plate-like wing under piezoelectrically induced stresses

Recent aircraft are increasingly presenting unconventional wing configurations, resulting in unusual aeroelastic responses and consequently giving rise to different technological strategies to enhance aeroelastic stability. Among them, the technique of stress stiffening by piezoelectric actuation emerged as a promising technological solution to improve the aeroelastic stability of structures with both ends axially constrained. Therefore, an...
