Bistable structures, a class of highly geometrically nonlinear morphing structures, have two
stable configurations that remain in their respective equilibrium positions without the …

A novel anti-icing/de-icing system composed of bi-stable laminate composite structures with
superhydrophobic surface and soft electrothermal patch is investigated in this paper. In this …

where weight reduction is important, studies have been performed on composites to include …

This paper demonstrates the feasibility of forming multi-functional graphene based surfaces
capable of thermal heating for de-icing applications. Developmental ink layers are deposited …

Combining one or more functional capabilities of subsystems within a structure can provide
system-level savings, particularly for weight-critical applications such as air and space …

Frost formation occurs on evaporator fin surfaces of heat pumps in heating mode when the
surface temperature is below the frost point and the moisture content is sufficiently high. This …

Structural instabilities in engineering are generally undesirable, however, with intelligent
design, these instabilities can be used to the designer's advantage [1]. Elastic or reversible …
