Nonlinear geometric effects in mechanical bistable morphing structures.
Bistable structures associated with nonlinear deformation behavior, exemplified by the Venus flytrap and slap bracelet, can switch between different functional shapes upon actuation. Despite numerous efforts in modeling such large deformation behavior of shells, the roles of mechanical and nonlinear geometric effects on bistability remain elusive. We demonstrate, through both theoretical analys...
متن کاملStatic and Dynamic Analysis of a Bistable Plate for Application in Morphing Structures
The need for better aircraft performance is increasingly prompting designers towards the realisation of morphing or shape-adaptable structural systems. One way to achieve this is to employ multistable composites elements. In this paper a square, curved bistable plate is studied. The finite element analysis provides the load-deflection characteristic of the bistable plate. A cubic expression is ...
متن کاملbuckling of viscoelastic composite plates using the finite strip method
در سال های اخیر، تقاضای استفاده از تئوری خطی ویسکوالاستیسیته بیشتر شده است. با افزایش استفاده از کامپوزیت های پیشرفته در صنایع هوایی و همچنین استفاده روزافزون از مواد پلیمری، اهمیت روش های دقیق طراحی و تحلیل چنین ساختارهایی بیشتر شده است. این مواد جدید از خودشان رفتارهای مکانیکی ارائه می دهند که با تئوری های الاستیسیته و ویسکوزیته، نمی توان آن ها را توصیف کرد. این مواد، خواص ویسکوالاستیک دارند....
Catching the bad guy: morphing composite faces helps.
Composite faces built by eyewitnesses commonly are poor likenesses of the target face. When there are multiple witnesses, however, an opportunity exists to morph the composites. Morphs were rated as more similar to the target face than were the mean ratings of the individual composites. However, as hypothesized, the morph also came to resemble non-target faces more than the individual composite...
متن کاملDigital Morphing Wing: Active Wing Shaping Concept Using Composite Lattice-Based Cellular Structures
We describe an approach for the discrete and reversible assembly of tunable and actively deformable structures using modular building block parts for robotic applications. The primary technical challenge addressed by this work is the use of this method to design and fabricate low density, highly compliant robotic structures with spatially tuned stiffness. This approach offers a number of potent...
