Abstract

In this paper, the effect of various parameters of a specific rotor blade cross-section on the effectiveness of a twist morphing concept is investigated. Then, by considering different constraints, a cross-section consistent with this morphing concept with high lag-twist coupling and low extension-t...

This in-plane bending moment then changes the blade twist distribution through lag-twist coupling induced through stiffness tailoring in the blade cross-section. Therefore, this coupling plays an important role in this morphing concept.
