UDRI is providing engineering services to assess the viability of advanced structural concepts for aerospace vehicles.  These concepts are multidisciplinary in nature, such as morphing wings that combine structural, aerodynamic, and controls technologies to achieve vehicle performance gains.  UDRI is building FEA models and conducting thermo-mechanical analysis to assess concept structural performance, and ultimately seeks to develop a modeling methodology for design and optimization of advanced structural concepts for multidisciplinary applications.
