Kinematics-driven design of reconfigurable bistable hinges with high stiffness and stability
Composite tape springs are curved shells with the ability to assume two energetically stable states. By carefully selecting layup and mold during manufacturing, these structures can store significant strain energy, making them ideal for deployable systems. Yet, their potential as reversible reconfig...
