Abstract
This research investigates advanced morphing skin technologies for aerospace applications, with a particular focus on leveraging the unique properties of graphene. Morphing aircraft require wing skins that are both flexible and capable of withstanding aerodynamic forces. Traditional materials often fall short in achieving the necessary balance between stiffness and deformability. Our study explores the potential of graphene, known for its exceptional mechanical strength, thermal conductivity, and electrical properties, as a transformative material for morphing skins. Using molecular dynamics simulations through LAMMPS, we examine graphene's response to various mechanical and thermal loads, demonstrating its suitability for real-time adaptive morphing structures. The findings suggest that graphene not only meets but exceeds the performance requirements for morphing wing applications, offering a promising path forward for future aerospace engineering advancements.
