Summary

In this work, shape control of flexible structures using enforced deformations ascontrol actions is considered. The proposed scheme can be applied for morphing of truss structures, such as a radio-telescope bases, aircraft smart wings, spray booms etc. A static problem for different external loadings is considered. In order to control the shape of the structure, suitably designed deformations of selected structural members are applied. Applied deformations on selected control elements can be realized by means of several technologies: thermal stresses, piezoelectric effects, shape memory actuators etc. The shape of the structure is changed according to the environmental conditions. For instance, in order to have an optimal control of geometry of the aircraft smart wing, it should be modified in dependence of weather phenomena, air turbulence, pressure, flow velocity and others. In this paper the discrete steps of shape changing of the structure, which is under external loading and control, are shown.
