Analysis of geometrically non-linear shells for morphing applications
This thesis sets out to develop an accurate and computationally efficient model to describe the multistability of geometrically non-linear shells with arbitrary curvature, suitable for modelling morphing applications. Governing equations are obtained for a system of curvilinear, non-orthogonal coord...
