Multi-stable metastructure with multi-layer and multi-degree of freedom: A numerical and experimental investigation

This paper proposes a family of multi-stable metastructures with multiple layers, which possess the capability of multi-degree of freedom deformations. In its single layer, four preshaped beams connecting two frames are employed as the main component for the design of multi-stable metastructures. Co...
