Bistable structures, a class of highly geometrically nonlinear morphing structures, have two
stable configurations that remain in their respective equilibrium positions without the …

The Venus flytrap uses bistability, the structural characteristic of its leaf, to actuate the leaf's
rapid closing motion for catching its prey. This paper presents a flytrap-inspired robot and …

The double excitation multi-stability and Shilnikov-type multi-pulse jum** chaotic
vibrations are analyzed for the bistable asymmetric laminated composite square panel …

Multi-stable composite laminates are composite materials that exhibit multi-stable states,
making them highly suitable for use in morphing structures. These materials are capable of …

Various creatures in nature can morph their body configuration smoothly and continuously
by using their compliant body structure. Such kind of locomotion is called soft morphing, and …
