Morphing Structures

Morphing Structures is a smart material-based structural system that belongs to the class of adaptive structures and is distinguished by its ability to undergo controlled, reversible, and continuous shape transformations in response to external stimuli, enabling deployability, compliance, and actuation through integrated mechanisms such as dielectric elastomers.
