Multi-objective optimization for the geometry of trapezoidal corrugated morphing skins [PDF]
, 2016 Morphing concepts have great importance for the design of future aircraft as they provide the opportunity for the aircraft to adapt their shape in flight so as to always match the optimal configuration.

Science, 2006 Two appendages of the fly, the haltere and the wing, grow to very different sizes. Limited expression and mobility of a growth morphogen is partly responsible for this difference.

Design and analysis of a linear servo-actuated variable-span morphing wing [PDF]
INCAS Bulletin, 2020 Morphing aircraft are multi-role aircraft that change their external shape substantially to adapt to a changing mission environment during flight.

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

On the Importance of Morphing Deformation Scheduling for Actuation Force and Energy
Aerospace, 2016 Morphing aircraft offer superior properties as compared to non-morphing aircraft. They can achieve this by adapting their shape depending on the requirements of various conflicting flight conditions.

Shape discrimination along morph-spaces
Vision Research, 2019 We investigated the dimensions defining mental shape space, by measuring shape discrimination thresholds along "morph-spaces" defined by pairs of shapes. Given any two shapes, one can construct a morph-space by taking weighted averages of their boundary vertices (after normalization), creating a continuum of shapes ranging from the first shape to the ...
