Nonlinear geometric effects in mechanical bistable morphing structures.
Bistable structures associated with nonlinear deformation behavior, exemplified by the Venus flytrap and slap bracelet, can switch between different functional shapes upon actuation. Despite numerous efforts in modeling such large deformation behavior of shells, the roles of mechanical and nonlinear geometric effects on bistability remain elusive. We demonstrate, through both theoretical analys...
متن کاملFree vibration behavior of bi-directional functionally graded plates with porosities using a refined first order shear deformation theory
This paper proposes the refined first order shear deformation theory to investigate the free vibration behavior of bidirectional functionally graded porous plates. This theory satisfies the transverse shear stress free conditions at the top and bottom of the plate, thus avoids the need of a shear correction factor. The rule of mixtures is employed to compute the effective material properties an...
متن کاملStatic and Dynamic Analysis of a Bistable Plate for Application in Morphing Structures
The need for better aircraft performance is increasingly prompting designers towards the realisation of morphing or shape-adaptable structural systems. One way to achieve this is to employ multistable composites elements. In this paper a square, curved bistable plate is studied. The finite element analysis provides the load-deflection characteristic of the bistable plate. A cubic expression is ...
متن کاملA bio-inspired, high-authority actuator for shape morphing structures
Lightweight structures capable of changing their shape on demand are of interest for a number of applications, including aerospace, power generation, and undersea vehicles. This paper describes a bioinspired cellular metal vertebrate structure which relies on shape memory alloy (SMA) faces to achieve fully reversing shape change. The resulting vertebrate actuators can be combined with flexible ...
متن کاملTrajectory Planning Using High Order Polynomials under Acceleration Constraint
The trajectory planning, which is known as a movement from starting to end point by satisfying the constraints along the path is an essential part of robot motion planning. A common way to create trajectories is to deal with polynomials which have independent coefficients. This paper presents a trajectory formulation as well as a procedure to arrange the suitable trajectories for applications. ...
