Abstract

A mechanically actuatable structural assembly includes first and second elastically deformable panels. Each panel includes a respective: leading edge region; trailing edge region opposing the leading edge region; first side edge region; and second side edge region opposing the first side edge region. The leading edge regions are coupled together to form a joined leading edge, and the trailing edge regions are coupled together to form a joined trailing edge. The side edge regions are not directly attached to each other. The structural assembly also includes means for applying a compressive axial load to the joined leading and trailing edges. The load causes the first and second panels to adaptively buckle into respective loaded shapes. Removal of the load causes the first and second panels to return to their relaxed shapes.
