Tensegrity structures comprise isolated compressive members suspended within a continuous network of tensioned elements, yielding lightweight yet remarkably resilient systems. The inherent self-stress ...

The NABUCCO project aims to develop radically new concepts of adaptive and buckling-driven composite structures for next generation aircraft. In aeronautics, buckling is generally avoided because it ...

Several participants argued that UAVs (UASs) in general are of high importance, but the least likely to benefit from adaptive materials and structures. They are inexpensive and easy to build, and ...
