Shape-Morphing in Oxide Ceramic Kirigami Nanomembranes. [PDF]
Adv MaterAbstractInterfacial strain engineering in ferroic nanomembranes can broaden the scope of ferroic nanomembrane assembly as well as facilitate the engineering of multiferroic‐based devices with enhanced functionalities. Geometrical engineering in these material systems enables the realization of 3‐D architectures with unconventional physical properties ...

Temperature-induced shape morphing of bi-metallic structures [PDF]
, 2020 In this work, we study the thermo-mechanical behavior of metallic structures designed to significantly change shape in response to thermal stimuli. This behavior is achieved by arranging two metals with different coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE ...

Compliant morphing structures from twisted bulk metallic glass ribbons [PDF]
, 2020 In this work, we investigate the use of pre-twisted metallic ribbons as building blocks for shape-changing structures. We manufacture these elements by twisting initially flat ribbons about their (lengthwise) centroidal axis into a helicoidal geometry ...

Symmetric Shape Morphing for 3D Face and Head Modelling [PDF]
, 2018 We propose a shape template morphing approach suitable for any class of shapes that exhibits approximate reflective symmetry over some plane. The human face and full head are examples. A shape morphing algorithm that constrains all morphs to be symmetric
