Not familiar with these types, but on the old A320's, there was a LAF (don't laugh...) computer, stands for Load Alleviating Function.
Was never really described in detail, but it would make use of ailerons/spoilers in order to reduce stress on the wing structure.

It seems after tens of thousand of hours logged on 320 frames, the wings could cope without them. I have not operated any 320 with such a computer, only read it from old FCOMs.
