Dynamic control of Gaussian morphing structures via embedded fluidic networks
Transforming a flat plate into a doubly curved shell is not possible without distorting in-plane distances, as stated by Gauss in his seminal theorem. In natural morphogenesis, this strong geometrical constraint is overcome by differential growth in the tissues, which induces mechanical stresses and thus the buckling in a rich variety of shapes. Over the last decade, emerging approaches have embraced this paradigm to develop bioinspired synthetic responsive materials with in-plane distortions, and hence shape-morphing capabilities. However, despite rapid developments, current efforts primarily focus on programming the final equilibrium shape, overseeing the dynamical trajectory of the…
