The unusual tracheal system within the wing membrane of a dragonfly
(Royal Soc, 2017-05-01)
Some consider that the first winged insects had living tissue inside the wing membrane, resembling larval gills or developing wing pads. However, throughout the developmental process of the wing membrane of modem insects, ...
Nonlinear dynamic model and simulation of morphing wing profile actuated by shape memory alloys
(2012-06-06)
Morphing aircraft have the ability to actively adapt and change their shape to achieve different missions efficiently. The development of morphing structures is deeply related with the ability to model precisely different ...

Inverse Shape Design of Deformable Structures and Deformable Wings
(Amer Inst Aeronaut Astronaut, 2011-01)
Inverse methods are mathematical techniques by which the unknown input of a system is determined from a known or desired output. In this article, a new inverse method for the reverse design of deformable structures is ...
Wing variation in Culex nigripalpus (Diptera: Culicidae) in urban parks
(BioMed Central, 2017)
Abstract
Background
Culex nigripalpus has a wide geographical distribution and is found in North and South America. Females are considered ...
Transcriptome dynamics during metamorphosis of imaginal discs into wings and thoracic dorsum in Apis mellifera castes
(2021-12-01)
Background: Much of the complex anatomy of a holometabolous insect is built from disc-shaped epithelial structures found inside the larva, i.e., the imaginal discs, which undergo a rapid differentiation during metamorphosis. ...
Relationship between body size and flying-related structures in Neotropical social wasps (Polistinae, Vespidae, Hymenoptera)
(SPRINGERNEW YORK, 2012)
Body size influences wing shape and associated muscles in flying animals which is a conspicuous phenomenon in insects, given their wide range in body size. Despite the significance of this, to date, no detailed study has ...
Drosophila wing modularity revisited through a quantitative genetic approach
(Society for the Study of Evolution, 2016-07)
To predict the response of complex morphological structures to selection it is necessary to know how the covariation among its different parts is organized. Two key features of covariation are modularity and integration. ...
Aeroelastic behavior of a wing with a magnetorheological hysteretic model to the damping
(2011)
This paper shows the application of a hysteretic model for the Magnetorheological Damper (MRD) placed in the plunge degree-of-freedom of aeroelastic model of a wing. This hysteretic MRD model was developed by the researchers ...
