Time-dependent bistable morphing structures

An investigation into the time-dependent effects of bistable morphing and deployable structures is presented, showing how the stability of these structures is influenced by viscoelastic effects and how these effects can be used as an advantage to engineer novel morphing concepts. In the context of s...
