Multiscale Method for Geometrical Nonlinear Analysis of Fluid Actuated Cellular Structures with Arbitrary Polygonal Microstructures
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Fluid actuated cellular structures are morphing structures inspired by the nastic movement of plants. These materials have a wide array of applications from morphing aircraft wings to soft robotics. The nonlinear shape-morphing ...

Two-Scale Topology Optimization of the 3D Plant-Inspired Adaptive Cellular Structures for Morphing Applications
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: A novel two-scale topology optimization method is developed in this work to optimize three-dimensional (3D) plant-inspired fluidic adaptive cellular structures for morphing applications. In this method, the coupled mechanical ...
