Use of Piezoelectric Actuators to Effect Snap-Through Behavior of Unsymmetric Composite Laminates
As a new concept for morphing structures, the use of piezoelectric actuators to effect snap-through behavior of simple unsymmetric cross-ply composite laminates is examined. Many unsymmetric laminates have more than one stable room-temperature shape and can be snapped through from one stable shape t...
