The Use of Variable Stiffness Joints in Adaptive Structures

Qian Wang, Gennaro Senatore

Adaptive structures are defined here as structures capable of counteracting actively the effect of external loads via controlled shape changes and redirection of the internal load path. These structures are integrated with sensors (e.g. strain, vision), co ...
