Abstract
The objective of this paper is to present the state-of-the-art on compliant mechanism structures and to discuss the results obtained at the University of Glasgow from applying leading edge morphing to blades from a cycloidal rotor. The paper is comprised of: a general overview of compliant mechanisms; various types of smart actuator that can be employed; the different choices of skin material that may be used; and specific applications to aeronautical engineering. Specific areas discussed in the general overview include what compliant mechanisms are, advantages and disadvantages of applying compliant mechanism structures, the past/current research carried out and useful applications where compliant systems could be employed as a replacement to conventional actuation systems.
