Bistable prestressed shell structures (2004, background): “A fully general stability analysis would be beyond the scope of the present study, but if we consider only deformations of the shell that are uniform and inextensional it becomes possible to derive a simple expression of the strain energy from which we can establish if the equilibrium configurations”
Tristability of thin orthotropic shells with uniform initial curvature (2008, methodology): “Section 2 presents the basic equations of the shell model in the framework of the uniform curvature assumption used by Forterre et al. (2005), Guest & Pellegrino (2006) and Seffen (2007).”
Multiparameter actuation for shape control of bistable composite plates (2010, methodology): “Previous works show that shallow orthotropic shells may exhibit up to three stable configurations with almost uniform curvature, depending on their initial shape and material parameters (Guest and Pellegrino, 2006; Seffen, 2007; Vidoli and Maurini, 2008).”
Bistable Auxetic Mechanical Metamaterials Inspired by Ancient Geometric Motifs (2016, background): “A promising alternative to by-pass this requirement is offered by materials and structures that can travel between stable states if needed [41, 42, 43].”
Morphing shell structures: A generalised modelling approach (2015, methodology): “Our approach builds upon [10, 14, 15] by considering thin anisotropic laminated shells possessing general planforms and initial curvatures.”
Discrete approximations of the Föppl–Von Kármán shell model: From coarse to more refined models (2013, background): “The first contribution in this direction was given in Mansfield (1962) where, assuming a curvature field uniform within the shell, a very simple, yet powerful, model with three degrees of freedom was deduced.”
Buckling-induced smart applications: recent advances and trends (2015, background): “A study [171] has identified that an isotropic cylindrical shell may be stable only in its initial configuration but will exhibit second or further stable configurations if made from fiber-reinforced composites.”
