DARPA's Structural Logic program seeks to enable structural systems that make up the basis for modern military platforms and buildings to adapt to varying loads and simultaneously exhibit both high stiffness and high damping.
DARPA's Structural Logic program seeks to enable structural systems that make up the basis for modern military platforms and buildings to adapt to varying loads and simultaneously exhibit both high stiffness and high damping. By demonstrating the ability to combine stiffness, damping and adaptive dynamic range in a single structure, the program will enable the design of military platforms with the ability to continually change their properties to match the demands of a broad range of dynamic environments.
