Novel rotational motion actuated beam-type multistable metastructures

This work aims to explore and design a family of multistable metastructures, which are actuated by rotational motion. The bi-stability design criteria for a single pre-shaped beam unit are studied firstly using an analytical model and finite element method. Based on this bi-stability study, a typica...
