Snap‐through bistability is often observed in nature (eg, fast snapping to closure of Venus
flytrap) and the life (eg, bottle caps and hair clippers). Recently, harnessing bistability and …

With the proliferation of flexible displays and the advances in smart materials, it is now
possible to create interactive devices that are not only flexible but can reconfigure into any …

Recent years have seen a research revival in structural stability analysis. This renewed
interest stems from a paradigm shift regarding the role of buckling instabilities in engineering …

We demonstrate the passive control of viscous flow in a channel by using an elastic arch
embedded in the flow. Depending on the fluid flux, the arch may “snap” between two states …

Morphing structures, defined as body panels that are capable of a drastic autonomous
shape transformation, have gained importance in the aerospace, automotive, and soft …

Architectured beam lattice materials whose anisotropy can be tuned by varying the
composition of their elementary cell are investigated. As an exemplary prototype of such …

Depending on its geometry, a spherical shell may exist in one of two stable states without
the application of any external force: there are two 'self-equilibrated'states, one natural and …

A synthesis of recent progress is presented on a topic that lies at the heart of both structural
engineering and non-linear science. The emphasis is on thin elastic structures that lose …

Buckling-driven shape-shifting is increasingly being used in metamaterials to achieve
mechanical programmability and novel functionality. Here, we show that the post-buckling …

Fluid flow passing a post-buckled sheet placed between two close confining walls induces
periodic snap-through oscillations and contacts that can be employed for triboelectric energy …
