Bistable plates for morphing structures: A refined analytical approach with high-order polynomials (2010, background): “A number of papers dealing with the possibility of actuating bistable plate with smart material were published as the snapthrough phenomenon became central (Hyer et al., 1998; Dano and Hyer, 2002; Dano and Hyer, 2003; Schultz et al., 2003; Schultz and Hyer, 2004; Schultz, 2005; Portela et al., 2005;”
Morphing shell structures: A generalised modelling approach (2015, methodology): “[40] would likely yield more accurate results, because the membrane problem is, first, approximated with more degrees of freedom and, then, solved separately using FEM.”
Discrete approximations of the Föppl–Von Kármán shell model: From coarse to more refined models (2013, methodology): “The energy functional (30) has been used in Vidoli and Maurini (2008), assuming Hi 1⁄4 0, to deduce the tristable behavior of orthortropic shells, and in Fernandes et al. (2010), assuming H0 1⁄4 0, to study reversible transitions between equilibria of bistable orthotropic shells.”
