Towards a neutrally stable meta-material consisting of coiled spatially curved shells

Design, evaluation, and optimization of a coiled spatially curved shell structure exhibiting zero-stiffness behaviour during compression to facilitate neutrally stable behaviour in a meta-material

Meta-materials provide many possibilities with their specially tailored properties on the macro level caused by their micro level structure in the form of unit cells. These unit cells often take the form of Compliant Mechanisms (CM), which have been widely researched. CM are ofte ...
