Static bistability of spherical caps
Matteo Taffetani, Xin Jiang, Douglas P. Holmes +1
Depending on its geometry, a spherical shell may exist in one of two stable states without the application of any external force: there are two `self-equilibrated' states, one natu…
Snapping of Bistable, Prestressed Cylindrical Shells
Xin Jiang, Matteo Pezzulla, Huiqi Shao +2
Bistable shells can reversibly change between two stable configurations with very little energetic input. Understanding what governs the shape and snap-through criteria of these st…
Curvature-Driven Morphing of Non-Euclidean Shells
Matteo Pezzulla, Norbert Stoop, Xin Jiang +1
We investigate how thin structures change their shape in response to non-mechanical stimuli that can be interpreted as variations in the structure's natural curvature. Starting fro…
