Can Morphing Methods Predict Intermediate Structures? [PDF]
Journal of Molecular Biology, 2009 Movement is crucial to the biological function of many proteins, yet crystallographic structures of proteins can give us only a static snapshot. The protein dynamics that are important to biological function often happen on a timescale that is unattainable through detailed simulation methods such as molecular dynamics as they often involve crossing ...

Morphing structure for a rudder [PDF]
The Aeronautical Journal, 2016 ABSTRACTThe modification of aerofoils with structural morphing in order to enhance aerodynamic efficiency is an active field of research. The required forced and induced displacements are, usually, out the current developments on shape memory alloys, piezoelectric actuators or multi-stable structures for commercial transport aircraft applications.
