Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Actively controlled texturing systems for and methods of selectively and reversibly forming wrinkles, or modifying the amplitude, wavelength, or pattern of existing wrinkles upon a surface using active material actuation.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A system for selectively forming wrinkles, or modifying the amplitude, wavelength, and/or pattern of existing wrinkles upon a surface, said system comprising: a reconfigurable substrate presenting a first elastic modulus or Poisson's ratio; an overlay i) defining the surface, ii) adhered as a layer on the substrate, and iii) presenting a second elastic modulus or Poisson's ratio greater than the first elastic modulus or Poisson's ratio; at least one acti…
