Zusammenfassung:	A morphable composite structure includes at least first and second layers fixed relative to one another. Each of the first and second layers includes structural fibers oriented substantially parallel to one another and a quantity of binder substantially fixing the structural fibers together. The fibers of the first layer are oriented asymmetrically to the fibers of the second layer. The morphable composite structure also includes at least one pattern of electrically-conductive particles connected with the first layer and spaced from the second layer. A current can be directed through the pattern to heat the fibers of the first layer and change the shape of the morphable composite structure.
