Abstract
Applications of transformable shape structures have
rapidly grown with advances in metamaterial design and digital
fabrication techniques. To develop novel shape morphing
structures and compute algorithms for inverse design, we need
to leverage techniques involving differential geometry, physical
simulation, topology and numerical optimization
This proposal discusses three background papers related to
this challenge. The first paper proposes a mesh parametrization
approach that provides control over the local shape deformation.
The second paper analyzes an interesting mesostructure that can
potentially build transformable structures. The third paper builds
an extensive computational framework for inflatable surface
structures.
