A bio-inspired, high-authority actuator for shape morphing structures
Lightweight structures capable of changing their shape on demand are of interest for a number of applications, including aerospace, power generation, and undersea vehicles. This paper describes a bioinspired cellular metal vertebrate structure which relies on shape memory alloy (SMA) faces to achieve fully reversing shape change. The resulting vertebrate actuators can be combined with flexible ...
متن کاملActuator placement optimization in a Kagome based high authority shape morphing structure
An optimization protocol for a high authority shape morphing plate is described. The shape morphing design incorporates an active back-plane comprising a Kagome truss, capable of changing the shape of a solid face, connected to the back-plane by means of a tetrahedral truss core. Several members of the Kagome truss are replaced by actuators, enabling the structure to deform. The trusses to be r...
متن کاملMorphing: Combining Structure and Randomness
We introduce a mechanism called “morphing” for introducing structure or randomness into a wide variety of problems. We illustrate the usefulness of morphing by performing several different experimental studies. These studies identify the impact of a “small-world” topology on the cost of coloring graphs, of asymmetry on the cost of finding the optimal TSP tour, and of the dimensionality of space...
متن کاملA High Quality Steganographic Method Using Morphing
A new morphed steganographic algorithm is proposed in this paper. Image security is a challenging problem these days. Steganography is a method of hiding secret data in cover media. The Least Significant Bit is a standard Steganographic method that has some limitations. The limitations are less capacity to hide data, poor stego image quality, and imperceptibility. The proposed algorithm focuses...
متن کاملCpg Control of a Tensegrity Morphing Structure for Biomimetic Applications
Rhythmic movements associated with animal locomotion are controlled by neuronal circuits known as central pattern generators (CPG). These biological control systems appear to entrain to the natural frequencies of the mechanical systems they control, taking advantage of the resonance of the structure, resulting in efficient control. The ultimate goal is employing these controls in a biomimetic a...
