Experimental Testing of a Small-Scale Truss Beam That Adapts to Loads Through Large Shape Changes

Adaptive structures have the ability to modify their shape and internal forces through sensing and actuation in order to maintain optimal performance under changing actions. Previous studies have shown that substantial whole-life energy savings with respect to traditional passive designs can be achi...
