Nancy L. Johnson
She is GM Co-Director; Lab Group Manager, and GM R&D.
Johnson’s latest patented invention is a selectively rigidizable membrane intended for cargo management. It is a highly innovative solution that involves a vacuum bladder, first and second architectural layers, and tiles interconnected by flexural elements. Each tile includes a constraining element which, when negative pressure is applied to the vacuum bladder, provides mechanical interference and prevents sliding movement of the first and second architectural layers relative to one another. As a result, the membrane becomes rigid and suitable for cargo management. This invention offers great potential for practical applications in various industries
