• Three-Dimensional-Printed Multistable Mechanical Metamaterials With a Deterministic Deformation Sequence (2017, background): “[24] developed multistable metamaterials using bistable tilted beams.”
• Harnessing bistability for directional propulsion of soft, untethered robots (2018, background): “Engineers started to integrate instabilities in design (10) [for example, in space structures (23), energy absorption mechanisms (24, 25), and fly-trapping robots (26)].”
• Bistable Auxetic Mechanical Metamaterials Inspired by Ancient Geometric Motifs (2016, background): “The combined structural bistability and negative Poisson’s ratio in two dimensions has not been previously observed in perforated auxetics [9, 22, 23, 24] and bistable metamaterials [51, 52, 53, 48], thus our work adds another dimension to the design space of architected soft materials.”
