Multiparameter actuation for shape control of bistable composite plates (2010, methodology): “…well documented, being encountered in various applicative contexts, including unsymmetric composite laminates (Hyer, 1981a,b; Potter et al., 2007; Mattioni et al., 2007), thin-film/substrate systems extensively used in microelectronic applications, MEMS, thermal barrier coatings, thin-film…”
Tristability of thin orthotropic shells with uniform initial curvature (2008, methodology): “To model this system, Hyer and Schultz (Hyer 1981; Schultz et al. 2006) used a Rayleigh–Ritz approach based on von Kármán plate kinematics; Mattioni et al. (2007) and Portela et al. (2008) used shell models with linear constitutive behaviour but including geometrical nonlinearities to compare…”
Multistable composite plates with piecewise variation of lay-up in the planform (2009, background): “Configurations different from these are usually analysed through an experimental analysis (Potter and Weaver, 2004; Gigliotti et al., 2004) or numerical simulation (Mattioni et al., 2008).”
