Structural and Topological Optimization of a Novel Elephant Trunk Mechanism for Morphing Wing Applications

A novel mechanism for seamless morphing trailing edge flaps is presented in this paper. This bio-inspired morphing concept is derived from an elephant’s trunk and is called the Elephant Trunk Mechanism (ETM). The structural flexibility of an elephant’s trunk and its ability to perform various types...
