Example applications of this lightweight shape changing structure include concentrators, mirrors, and communications antennas that are able to dynamically change their focal point, as well as substructures for solar sails that are capable of steering through solar winds by altering the sails׳ subjected area.
The new Springblades are packed with 16 "Energy Blades" to give you an extra bounce when you take a step, combined with a lightweight shape.
The most space-consuming part of these manufacturing facilities (and the source of most bottlenecks) is the finishing and shipping area, which handles the many different lightweight shapes that are produced in various steel grades, heat treatments, and surface conditions and are made to many specific customer orders.
Hybrid lightweight structures shape the development of future vehicles in traffic engineering and the aerospace industry.
Nine different types of LEAM with varying lightweight aggregate shapes and percentages were designed and tested.
The fabrication of hollow structures with homogenous shells will open up possibilities for various application fields, such as controlled-release capsules, artificial cells for drug delivery, lightweight fillers, shape-selective adsorbents, and catalysts [1].
Softwoods such as balsa, basswood, cedar, and pine are lightweight, easily shaped woods that more readily float, making them suitable for most topwater plugs and diving lures that wiggle widely.
Observe the wings of the different birds and design paper airplanes to mimic the different kinds of flying, such as soaring, quick maneuverability, lightweight, or aerodynamic shape.
The possibility was demonstrated of production of lightweight flat and shape composite products with full filling of the steel mesh and density of solid materials.
Organic or 'plastic' solar cells are attractive for solar photoelectric energy conversion applications where low cost (such as large area), lightweight, and flexible shape are desired.
The lightweight design and shape makes the boat easy to haul onto an exposed beach for quick offloading, Shroyer said.
