Strain-based Topology Optimization of a 2D Morphing Transitional Surface

Morphing aircraft offer many benefits. However, the design of stiff yet flexible structures still provides many obstacles to fully exploring and realizing morphing structures. Due to this, many morphing challenges remain open. Topology optimization is a type of structural optimization that optimizes...
