The use of piezoelectrically controlled bistable composite laminates for morphing
applications has received increased attention in recent years. So far, most existing …

Multistable composite shells have received great attention in shape-changing morphing
applications due to their ability to attain more than one stable shape when cooled down from …

This paper presents an analysis of a novel morphing trailing edge flap design for a wind
turbine rotor blade with embedded multistable composite plates. Morphing trailing edge …

Unsymmetric laminates exhibiting two stable equilibrium shapes due to the induced thermal
residual stresses have been extensively explored in recent years. The potential energy wells …

Bistable or multi-stable structures have found broad applications in the fields of adaptive
structures, flow control, and energy harvesting devices due to their unique nonlinear …

Wind-shear is an environmental factor that may affect the safety of an airplane, especially
when flying at low altitude. In order to overcome this effect, the present work implements …

The interest of lower dimensional models for elastic structures relies on simpler
