Abstract: Abstract The design of morphing structures requires attaining concurrently light-weight, load-carrying and shape adaptable systems that minimize complexity, actuation requirements and part count. Exploiting the external loads to produce local stiffness variations induced by elastic… read more here.

Abstract: An optical attenuator is an optical device that can modulate the power level of an optical signal. Based on the macro-bending loss of optical fibers, we present a wavy fiber attenuator where the attenuation level… read more here.
