abstract = "An active structure enables interaction with the external environment has been investigated to meet a requirement for use in shape changeable applications via the adaptation of its shape. In this study, to provide a variety of deformation behaviors of the morphing structure, the polymer-matrix composite using Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) woven laminates was investigated. To generate a bending deformation, the SMA wires which were woven with the glass fibers were heated by applying current. Different configurations of the morphing structure were tested by changing the number of the additional layered glass-fiber lamina to modify the principle of the deformation quantity of the morphing structure. Also, the blocking force which generates an out-of-plane deformation caused by the axial shrinkage of the SMA wires was measured using load cell with different configuration of the woven composites.",
