In 1 994，Kota，a professor from University of Michigan，firstly pointed out that compliant mechanism could be used to control static shape changing under the sponsorship of the Air Force Of ice of Scientific Research in USA．Saggere and Kota suggested a new method to design compliant adaptive structures，which made the least square errors between the shape—changed curve and the target curve as the objective function for optimization．Based on their work，Lu put forward a load path representation method．However, her work was limited to only linear analysis under consideration of nodal loads．Good[ from Virginia Polytechnic Institute of State University used the compliant mechanism and the Moving Asymptotes method to design the fuselage tail within the allowable range of its tip maximal deflection．Kota and He trick in2004 designed a compliant trailing edge on the base of the F16s data，which can change from 0。to 15。and obtained a patent．Campanile from German Aerospace Center presented a modal procedure to design synthetic flexible mechanisms for airfoil shape control，and pointed out that the future re—search should take into account the air load and the geometric nonlinearity．Buhl from Riso National Laboratory of the Wind Energy Department in Denmark used the SIM P method and geometrically nonlinear finite element method to design compliant trailing edge flaps．FlxSys Inc in 2006 produced an adaptive compliant wing，which stood the test on the White Knight airplane．The results indicated that the compliant trailing edge could change+10 ．In China，the research of adaptive wing has been concentrated on smart material and conventional mechanism．Few people，it seems，have worked on designing adaptive wings with the compliant mechanism．Yang is an exception．He analyzed the active aero—elastic wings based on the aero—servo— elasticity technology．Chen and Huang separately investigated the morphing of the compliant leading edge from the viewpoints of discreteness and continuity. This paper presents a method to design the shape changeable structure by MATLAB and AN—SYS associated with distributed compliant mechanism on the base of the ground structure approach and genetic algorithm (GA)taking into account the external distributed loads and geometric nonlinearity. 2 Optimization Process: 2．1 Defining the trailing edge model and objective function As shown in Fig．1，both curves represent two ideal shapes of the trailing edge in the different flying states．One side point)of the structure is supposed to be fixed，and the other side point) to be sliding horizontally. Firstly, the design domain should be defined by the initial curve shape．the input location and the boundary conditions．Then．it is divided with abeam element network simulating the bird’s feather as shown in Fig．2．This is termed the partial ground structure method. Fig．1 Initial shape and target shape Fig．2 Discretization of the design domain The simplest and most effective way to manufacture the planar compliant mechanism is to use wire—cutting technology．In the optimization pro—gram，all the elements are of rectangular beams with the same width equal to the thickness of the material，every beams height being a design variable． In order to make the structure’s deformation come close to the target shape curve，the least square error(LSE)between the deformed curve and the target curve is defined as the objective function．LSE is the sum of squares of position differences of various points along the curves Its expression is where I (=1，2，?，P)is the number of the points along the curves，P is the total number of points．a(chǎn)ndare the coordinates of it h node on the target and deformed boundary curve respectively． The constraints are Where J (=1，2，?， )is the number of elements，miss the tota1 number of elements，，hi the dimension variable，hmin and hmax are the lower and upper bounds of the element beam height for all elements with the value dependent on manufacturing，hb the height of the boundary elements， the maximumnoda1 deformation of the nodes on the curve boundary when the input point is inactive，and should be smaller than[d]to ensure structure stiffness，[d] the allowable maximum displacement when the input point is inactive，O'max the maximum stress of al1 the elements which must be smaller than Tj to prevent yielding，Tj the topology variable equal to 1，or else0 when the element is eliminated． 2．2 GA optimization GA is an optimization method which simulates the heuristic selection rule in nature，where the fit．test living things have the most chance to survive，but the inferior ones also have the opportunity to exist． Different from the continuous optimization method，it does not require the gradient-based in—formation of the objective function. Every element could be expressed as a topology variable and a dimension variable． There—fore，each individua1 could be coded as follows where ，2 is the number of elements except the boundary ones．With the same heights，the boundary elements throughout the optimizing process are represented by only one variable，hb. The fitness is the criterion of the GA optimization．It could be transformed from the objective function into where βis a coefficient deciding the compulsive selection of the betterindividua1．The smaller the value，the more different would be between the two individuals’fitness thus increasing the compulsiveness of choosing the individual of higher fitness． The selection of control parameters plays an important role in the convergence of the GA．Generally speaking．the cross probability ranges 0．40—0．99；the mutation probability is 0．000 01-0．01．a(chǎn)nd the number of individuals 1 0．200． The variable would be updated through the crossover and mutation，so the possible design could generate in the GA process． 2．3 Finite element analysis(FEA) Because of the limited design variables and the target function，the optimization module of FEA software could not be used to design the compliant morphing mechanism．Therefore，this paper programmed the GA in MATLAB and the FEA in ANSYS．In the FEA，taking only account of geo—metric nonlinearities and the material being of linear elasticity, ANSYS could solve the node displacements and the element stresses．Then by deleting the elements with low stress，the fitness could be calculated．Fig．3 shows the detailed process． Fig．3 Flowchart of the structural optimization program． 2．4 Second optimization Although the GA could optimize the topology and dimension simultaneously in a large solution space，the dimension usually could not directly converge to the optimization．In order to solve this problem，after the GA，the Direct Search method should be used to find the best values of the input displacement and the dimensions of the elements which remain in the results after the GA． For morphing of compliant mechanism，F(xiàn)ig．3describes the whole optimization process．It mainly contains initialization of the design domain，F(xiàn)EA，GA optimization and second optimization. 3 Presentation of Results: Adopted from Ref，the sizes of the initial and the target trailing edge are reduced by sixty percent．，I1ab1e 1 lists the design parameters. Because the displacement is used as the input，the nonlinear analysis could hardly converge and the stress of the initia1 solutions is very large．Which should be considered after thirtieth generation. Table 1 Design parameters Fig．4 and Fig．5 illustrate the results from the GA optimization and the second optimization respectively． Fig．4 Results after the GA optimization Fig．5 Results after the second optimization． Form Table 2，it could be found that through the second optimization of the input displacement and the dimension，the LSE is reduced by 1．352 8mmand improved by 3．13％ ．The altered angle is increased by 1．049 3 Table 2 Results after the two optimization Fig．6 Stability of final optimal structure Fig．6 shows the influences of the parameters when the outside distributed pressure load changes from 0 to 1 0 N／mm and the input displacement re—mains 1 1．389 7 mm on the optimal structure．It could be seen that the optimal structure has a good stability if the load is kept in the range Of 0—5 N／mm．As the external load exceeds 5 N／mm，the max stress is likely to exceed the yield stress． Because this optimization program is based on the M ATLAB and ANSYS．in order to verify the results．a(chǎn)n attempt is made to introduce the analytical results of the optimized structure into ANSYS and PATRAN respectively, and then a comparison is made between them．As shown in Fig．7 and Fig．8，the two altered shapes are in good agreement：for in ANSYS the tip displacement is 54．97mm and in PATRRAN 54．50mm．The minor difference between them is from the software． Fig．7 Results of FEA in ANSYS Fig．8 Results of FEA in PATRAN On the other hand，a model is made by wire—cutting technology to verify the analytical results．The material of the mode1．identical with that of the design，is 5 mm thick．In the experiment，the distributed pressure load is assumed to be zero．The input displacement 11．389 7mm with the required input load 146 N．Fig．9 shows the model and the experimental result．The altered angle is measured9．3。．a(chǎn)nd the tip displacement 53mm．The altered shape well accords to the optimized result．If a displacement of 11．3897mm is imposed on the model，the theoretical tip displacement is 54．796 mm． Be．cause of the friction there is between the model and the experiment table a tiny difference will take place between the measured data and the calculated results． Fig．9 The model and experimental result 4 Conclusions： Proved by the simulation and experiments，the proposed method to design morphing compliant mechanism is effectual in turning out a trailing edge with required morphing effects and ability of with—standing external loads．The combination of MAT—LAB and ANSYS in the optimization renders the program simple and universa1．There is no need for frequent changes of the rigid matrix．It also avoids the complexity of programming the nonlinear FEA and the transforming distributed loads into nodal loads．Using the mixed code，the topology and the dimension could simultaneously be optimized by the GA．Removing the free elements after the FEA could speed up the optimization．The second optimization could improve the GA results． 20
