Abstract: In this paper, a compact packing algorithm for the placement of objects inside a container is described. The proposed packing algorithm is designed to pack three-dimensional free-form objects ...

Abstract: Engineering research into packing problems has been widely undertaken in recent years. The use of component shape morphing in layout design has, however, received little attention. Shape morphing ...

Abstract: The low in-plane modulus of honeycombs may be used for compliant structures with a high elastic limit while maintaining a required modulus. Numerical and finite element (FE) studies for a ...
