Journal Article
Amoozgar, M. R., Ajaj, R. M., & Cooper, J. E. (2022). The effect of elastic couplings and material uncertainties on the flutter of composite high aspect ratio wings. Journal of Fluids and Structures, 108, Article 103439. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jfluidstructs.2021.103439

In this paper, the stochastic aeroelastic stability analysis of a composite high aspect ratio wing with various elastic couplings is investigated. The wing consists of a rectangular spar-box made from composite materials. Due to its high aspect ratio...

A Parametric Study on the Aeroelasticity of Flared Hinge Folding Wingtips (2021)
Journal Article
Ajaj, R. M., Saavedra Flores, E. I., Amoozgar, M., & Cooper, J. E. (2021). A Parametric Study on the Aeroelasticity of Flared Hinge Folding Wingtips. Aerospace, 8(8), Article 221. https://doi.org/10.3390/aerospace8080221

This paper presents a parametric study on the aeroelasticity of cantilever wings equipped with Flared Hinge Folding Wingtips (FHFWTs). The finite element method is utilized to develop a computational, low-fidelity aeroelastic model. The wing structur...

Experimental study of lag-twist coupling concept for rotor blade application (2021)
Journal Article
Gu, H., Amoozgar, M., Shaw, A. D., Zhang, J., Wang, C., & Friswell, M. I. (2021). Experimental study of lag-twist coupling concept for rotor blade application. Composite Structures, 275, Article 114417. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compstruct.2021.114417

A novel passive twist morphing concept is examined for helicopter blades. The concept is demonstrated using a thin-walled rectangular composite beam created with symmetric layup to obtain bend-twist property. The twist of a rotor blade is proposed to...
