Abstract:This study introduces an active shape-morphing lattice structure along with a method for controlling its deformation. A shape memory alloys (SMA) based smart lattice unit cell is proposed, this smart lattice unit cell is capable of accomplishing three distinct types of basic deformations by activating various SMA actuators through heating. By assembling these smart lattice unit cells, an entire structure can be constructed, which can undergo various modes of deformation through the activation of different actu… Show more
