Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been often used for several applications, such as engineering, military and entertainment. In particular, insect-like and bird-like UAVs have demonstrated a huge potential for developing a new generation of aerial vehicles, with high efficiency and versatility for different missions. However, the aeroelastic characteristics of these vehicles are not we…
The present research comprises the development of a new methodology for crack detection in rails combining experimental measurements of electromechanical impedance (EMI) and both flexural and longitudinal waves. Piezoelectric transducers are used for measuring the EMI and waves. The approach considers theoretical investigations to evaluate the wave propagation in beam-like structure cons…
Flapping Wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (FWUAVs) are a class of bio-inspired UAVs, or robotic birds, and they are based on the flight principles of birds and insects, such that the lift and thrust forces are mainly generated by the motion of their wings. Many current FWUAVs have a short flight duration due to the typical limited onboard energy. However, the use of an energy harvesting syst…
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have increasingly gained notoriety as a multipurpose technology. In particular, bioinspired UAV is a class of these vehicles with very different characteristics in comparison with those traditional models with rotating or fixed wings. They have flapping wings as a mechanism for lift and thrust, like birds do. In this context, the present project involves th…
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been developed and used in different applications that involve technical operations in engineering and entertainment. Among the different types, bio-inspired UAVs stand out, which involve wing movement, typically called flapping wing systems. The main types of these vehicles are inspired by insects and birds, respectively called insect-like and bird-li…

Detect structural damages is currently an important challenge to the engineering community. The field of Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) comprises many techniques, mainly non destructive ones, to detect incipient damage and allow to establish maintenance procedures before a failure. In particular, many researches on this topic are based on post processing the input and output signals, …
The effects associated to the aeroelastic phenomena define an important class of problems to be addressed during the aircraft design, especially because they can decrease the safety levels of aerial vehicles. Particularly, flutter stands out because it is a potentially catastrophic instability, which implies to well-defined requirements established by the aeronautical certification agenc…
Nonlinear effects can change substantially the dynamics of a flight. Friction and freeplay in control surfaces can also imply to change the stability of aerial vehicles or limitations in the operational flight envelope. In this context, this research comprises an investigation of the dynamics of Limit Cycle Oscillations (LCO) due to simultaneous freeplay on aileron and trim-tab. The influ…

This research project proposes an investigation on the dynamics of circular piezoelectric transducers working as actuators and sensors in SHM applications. The proposal comprises to investigate the interactions of longitudinal and flexural waves reflected and transmitted in plates with symmetrical damage using circular piezoelectric transducers as actuators and sensors. The state vector a…
The presence of nonlinearities in aeroelastic systems can change the dynamics of flight. There are several types of nonlinearities, such as geometrically nonlinear behavior and freeplay, and they can lead the system to limit cycle oscillations (LCO). The first type of nonlinearity is usually found in flexible high-aspect-ratio wings (HAR), which achieve large deformations and have the int…
This proposal of post doctoral research comprises to develop a new methodology to design an active controller to generate aeroelastic gust alleviation including control surface asymmetric nonlinearities. In particular will be consider asymmetric freeplay and stiffness and the methodology will be based on the Fuzzy Takagi-Sugeno modeling which will be solved by Linear Matrix Inequalities (…
