1. A method for changing the stiffness of a structure comprising the steps of:
activating a multilayer system in the structure, said multilayer system comprising:
a first layer comprising an adhesive embedded with nanoparticles, said adhesive have a first modulus value, and said nanoparticles oriented in a first orientation;a second layer proximate to the first layer, said second layer comprising a light activation system; andan energy input in communication with an energy source and said energy input in communication with the first adhesive layer; producing light in the second layer; directing light produced by the second layer to the first layer; altering the modulus of the adhesive from said first modulus value to a second modulus value; delivering energy from the energy source to the first adhesive layer via the energy input; and changing the orientation of the nanoparticles in the first layer. |
