Design and Manufacturing of Composite Chiral Structures with Morphing Capabilities

er investigates the response of complex structures made of composite materials be exploited for morphing purpose and s a technique for the manufacturing of e of structures. The configuration under ation consists of a chiral truss-core whose chord-wise compliance can be d for morphing purposes. Numerical are presented to demonstrate the ng performance of a composite chiral rfoil, and to motivate the set up of an t manufacturing process. e developed manufacturing approach the assembly of complex structural rations by bonding of composite s. The manufactured chiral cells have sted to prove their capability to undergo isplacement without experiencing failure tailed numerical model are assessed to the non-linear response and the strength type of structures.
