Bistable polar-orthotropic shallow shells

We investigate stabilizing and eschewing factors on bistability in polar-orthotropic shells in order to enhance morphing structures. The material law causes stress singularities when the circumferential stiffness is smaller than the radial stiffness (β < 1), requiring a careful choice of the tria...
