title = "LOAD ALLEVIATION USING SPANWISE MORPHING TRAILING EDGE CONCEPT",
abstract = "This paper studies the aeroelastic behavior of a rectangular, cantilever wing equipped with the spanwise morphing trailing edge (SMTE) concept. The SMTE consists of multiple trailing edge flaps that allow controlling the spanwise camber distribution of a wing. The flaps are attached at the wing{\textquoteright}s trailing edge using torsional springs. Rayleigh-Ritz method is used to develop the equations of motion of the wing-flap system. A comprehensive parametric study is conducted where a different number of flaps is studied. The effectiveness of SMTE in gust load alleviation is assessed, using a discrete (1-cosine) gust, for a wide range of conditions.",
