Shape morphing hinged truss structures
Truss structures are widely used for the support of structural loads in applications where minimum mass solutions are required. Their nodes are normally constructed to resist rotation to maximize their stiffness under load. A multi-link node concept has recently been proposed that permits independent rotation of tetrahedral trusses linked by such a joint. High authority shape morphing truss str...
متن کاملWireless and distributed sensing of the shape of morphing structures
Monitoring the shape of morphing structures is essential for their effective and safe operation. However, current sensing systems such as fiber optic ensors are expensive, brittle, and unsuitable for monitoring large shape changes without being susceptible to failure or performance degradation. herefore, a new class of sensors that does not suffer from these serious limitations is presented. Th...
متن کاملConstraint-Based Synthesis of Shape-Morphing Structures in Virtual Reality
This manuscript outlines a novel approach to the design of compliant shape-morphing structures using constraint-based design method. Development of robust methods for designing shape-morphing structures is the focus of multiple current research projects, since the ability to modify geometric shapes of the individual system components, such as aircraft wings and antenna reflectors, provides the ...
متن کاملA rotational joint for shape morphing space truss structures
A rotational joint is introduced for use in shape morphing or deployable space truss structures. The joint is a chain mechanism comprising up to six pivoted linkages that provide a compact mechanism for the connection of up to six structures at a node. The total number of degrees of freedom for a constrained joint mechanism with six links is found. A closed chain model is then used to determine...
متن کاملA 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 ...
