  7. Abstract:
  8. The material presented in thesis uses concepts of finite element and doublet panel method to develop a structural aerodynamic coupled mathematical model for the analysis of morphing wing tip composed of smart materials. Much research is currently being performed within many facets of engineering on the use of smart of intelligent material. Examples of the beneficial characteristics of smart materials might include altering a structure's mechanical properties, controlling its dynamic response and sensing flaw that might progressively become detrimental to the structure. This thesis describes a bio inspired adaptive structure that will be used in morphing an aircraft's wing tip. The actuation system is derived from individual flexible matrix composite tube actuators embedded in matrix medium that when pressurized, radical structural shape change in possible.a driving force behind this research , as with any morphing wing related studies, is to expand the limitations of aircraft's mission ,usually constrained by the wing Design. Rather than deploying current methods of achieving certain flight characteristics , changing the shape of wing greatly increases the flight envelope. This thesis gives some insight as to due structural capability and limitations using current numerical method to model a morphing wing in a flow
