APPLICATION OF A MAGNETORHEOLOGICAL FLUID TO THE AIRCRAFT WING

Abstract

The potential application of smart materials is being investigated by various researchers in the perspective of building intelligent systems. The main goal of this paper is a novel approach which will allow to gain new knowledge about the application of a magnetorheological fluid to the aircraft wing. Magnetorheological fluids, beside ferromagnetic and electrorheological fluids, belong to the non-Newtonian rheostable fluids, which are characterized by a yield point.
