Thermomechanically coupled analysis and experimental investigation of morphing structures with shape memory alloy actuators operating under partial transformation with a focus on active load control

The present doctoral thesis aims towards exploration of the response of shape adaptive structures controlled by Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) actuators, that operate under partial phase transformation conditions. Particular attention is paid to the active load alleviation on large wind turbine blades thr...
