摘要: Methods, systems, and devices are described for fluid-dynamic structures operable to be reconfigured during use. Embodiments of the include a number reconfigurable members separated by non-reconfigurable members. The may manufactured from temperature-sensitive polymeric foam, which become compliant at certain temperatures. structure also an actuator assembly, apply reconfiguration force along path, reconfigure between two or more volumetric shapes. Some embodiments temperature regulation assembly regulating members, structural attachment attaching structure.
