Contactless reversible 4D-printing for 3D-to-3D shape morphing
Virtual and Physical Prototyping, 2020 4D printing provides a means to create dynamic structures for self-actuating devices fabricated by additive manufacturing techniques. Most existing 4D printing processes are only capable of one-way shape morphing using a single mechanism for stimulation.

Binary morphological shape-based interpolation applied to 3-D tooth reconstruction [PDF]
, 2002 In this paper we propose an interpolation algorithm using a mathematical morphology morphing approach. The aim of this algorithm is to reconstruct the $n$-dimensional object from a group of (n-1)-dimensional sets representing sections of that object. The

Nonlinear Geometric Effects in Mechanical Bistable Morphing Structures [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2012 Bistable structures associated with non-linear deformation behavior, exemplified by the Venus flytrap and slap bracelet, can switch between different functional shapes upon actuation. Despite numerous efforts in modeling such large deformation behavior of shells, the roles of mechanical and nonlinear geometric effects on bistability remain elusive.
