Evan Cabnet's production navigates the tonal shifts with aplomb, aided by a smart, shape-shifting cast.
Perforated PVDF strips are embedded in a segmented silicone shell of a crawling earthworm minirobot with the ability to elongate and contract, thanks to a smart configuration of shape memory alloy actuators.
As a new kind of smart materials, shape memory polymer composites (SMPCs) are being used in large in-space deployable structures.
Among the smart materials Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) actuators are capable of providing more efficient mechanisms in comparison with the conventional actuators due to their large force to stroke ratio, smaller size with high capabilities in limited spaces, and lower weight.
A survey of Mr. Isserlis's past performances (including New York appearances with the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Orchestra of St . Lukes, among others), recordings, reviews and articles reveals an artist whose playing resembles his writing: smart, nicely shaped, alert to matters of tone, sometimes crisply informative, sometimes heart-on-sleeve, sometimes whimsical.
The question now is how much has Sansa learnt – will she decide it's better to be the lady of Winterfell and the power behind Jon's throne, using her smarts to shape his policy, or will she listen to Littlefinger's attempts to spread discord?
This study focuses on the use of the optimized LIFT technique using a double mask setup, i.e. smart beam shaping (SBS) in the picosecond laser pulse regime.
The dynamic responses of a hybrid smart composite incorporating shape memory alloys (SMAs) and shape memory polymers (SMPs) being exposed to blast loading are investigated.
So-called "smart materials" include shape-memory alloys, which change shape according to the temperature, and piezoelectric materials that mechanically deform when an electric field is applied.
