Stiffness tailoring in sinusoidal lattice structures through passive topology morphing using contact connections

Structures with adaptive stiffness characteristics present an opportunity to meet competing design requirements, thus achieving greater efficiency by the reconfiguration of their topology. Here, the potential of using changes in the topology of planar lattice structures is explored to achieve this d...
