Analysis of morphing, multi-stable structures actuated by piezoelectric patches
In this article a novel morphing structure concept is studied using non-linear Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Bi-stable asymmetrical laminates can be snapped between two geometries through a buckling mechanism that is activated by an applied load. A piezoelectric Macro Fibre Composite (MFC) actuator...
