The performance requirements of advanced space systems of the future have motivated a new approach to structural design. This paper surveys the field of adaptive structures and proposes a general framework for categorizing the various approaches be ing pursued. Examples are described in each category to place the work in relative per spective and to describe the similarities and differences between the approaches.
