Concepts for morphing composite structures using non-linear stiffness tailoring
Recently, morphing structures have found increased interest due to their potential for combining conflicting requirements of strength, flexibility and low mass. Many concepts depend on continuously powered actuators to deform the structure. Others possess multiple stable states, i.e. multi-stability...
