Shape-shifting of hyperbolic surfaces: Design and analysis of a shape-shifting method for complex hyperbolic surfaces, based on a passive frame in combination with an active shape-memory polymer

Almost every tissue in the human body is curved in a certain way. Examples are the extracellular matrix of different tissues such as trabecular bone, different acini and blood vessels. As such, the ability to create complex curved structures is crucial in the development of biomimetic biomaterials that could be used, for example, for tissue...
