[HTML][HTML] Snap-induced morphing: From a single bistable shell to the origin of shape bifurcation in interacting shells
The bistability of embedded elements provides a natural route through which to introduce
reprogrammability to elastic meta-materials. One example of this is the soft morphable sheet …
