OPTImised Model for Accurately measured in-flight Loads (OPTIMAL)
Start date: Sep 2, 2013, End date: Mar 1, 2016,
In recent years, Counter Rotating Open Rotors (CROR) have received considerable attention as the CROR concept promises a considerable reduction of fuel consumption over conventional ducted turbofan engines. Specifically for Smart Fixed Wing Aircraft CROR is expected to contribute to 20% fuel burn reduction. Despite this potential CROR engines are associated with higher noise and vibration levels a ...

An Advanced Structural Integrity System for Air Transport Composites using NDT Evaluation and Damage Tolerance Methods (TRACE-IT)
Start date: Oct 1, 2013, End date: Sep 30, 2015,
There is a huge industrial and innovative need for more efficient and reliable damage inspection as well as for reducing the time and cost for aircraft infrastructure maintenance and especially C and D Checks without compromising the safety of passengers and goods transported. This reduction would increase the value for money for the European aerospace industries. Moreover, airline companies will ...

Advanced concepts for trailing edge morphing wings - Design and manufacturing of test rig and test samples - Test execution (SMyTE)
Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Jan 31, 2013,
The SMyTE project aims to develop state-of-the-art SMA actuator specimen(s), undergoing controlled deformation and to perform tests on a suitably designed and assembled test rig with its related interface components to assure the characterisation of SACM and DESA demonstrators and the validation of numerical schemes used during design phase. At a later stage, it is further aimed to be applied on t ...

LE coupon based technology (SMyLE)
Start date: Oct 1, 2010, End date: Dec 31, 2012,
SMyle involves mathematical modell ing, design, fabrication and testing of a Shape Memory Alloy coupon undergoing actuated controllrd deformation. It is envisaged that two different SM actuating principles will be pursued. In the first approach the actuator will be embedded in the coupon in the form of an active layer whereas in the second approach the use of the so called compliant mechanisms wil ...
