Multistability is the phenomenon of multiple coexistent stable states, which are highly
sensitive to perturbations, initial conditions, system parameters, etc. Multistability has been …

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

Bistable composite laminates have received a considerable attention due to their fabulous
behavior and potential for morphing and energy harvesting. A bistable or multistable …

A review on works that investigate the mechanical behaviour of variable stiffness composite
laminated panels is carried out in this paper. The review mostly focuses on buckling, failure …

Recent years have seen a research revival in structural stability analysis. This renewed
interest stems from a paradigm shift regarding the role of buckling instabilities in engineering …

The morphing characteristics and damage analysis of variable stiffness bistable laminate
fabricated by continuous fiber 3D printing technology are systematically studied …

The room-temperature equilibrium stable states of cured unsymmetric composite laminates
have been the focus of recent research, with a particular emphasis on shape morphing …

A novel manufacturing method for curvilinear-fiber multistable laminates using continuous
fiber 3D printing technology is proposed, and a numerical and experimental investigation on …

A multi-objective optimization technique for bistable laminates is proposed in the present
study. Bistable laminates have wide application prospects as deployable structures of …

Multistable structures used in morphing applications are conventionally achieved by using
unsymmetric laminates with straight fibers. An ideal morphing system always calls for a …
