Non-Uniform Curvature Model and Numerical Simulation for Anti-symmetric Cylindrical Bistable Polymer Composite Shells

The bistability of anti-symmetric thin shallow cylindrical polymer composite shells, made of carbon fiber/epoxy resin, has already been investigated based on the uniform curvature and inextensible deformation assumptions by researchers in detail. In this paper, a non-uniform curvature model that con...
