Identification of Macro- and Micro-Compliant Mechanism Configurations Resulting in Bistable Behavior
… of several mechanism classes which result in bistable behavior. Bistable mechanisms have use in many applications, such as switches, clasps, closures, hinges, and so on. A powerful method for the design of such mechanisms would allow the realization of working designs much more easily than has …

On-Chip Actuation of Compliant Bistable Micro-Mechanisms
Two compliant bistable micro-mechanisms have been developed which can be switched in either direction using on-chip thermal actuation. The energy storage and bistable behavior of the mechanisms are achieved through the elastic deflection of compliant segments. The pseudo-rigid-body model was used …

Fully Compliant Tensural Bistable Mechanisms (FTBM) with On-Chip Thermal Actuation
<p>The Fully compliant Tensural Bistable Mechanism (FTBM) class is introduced. The class consists of fully compliant linear bistable mechanisms that achieve much of their displacement and bistable behavior through tension loading of compliant segments. Multiple topologies of designs arising from …

Characterization of Bistability Behavior in Unsymmetric CFRP Laminates
… a phenomenon known as bistability. Unsymmetric bistable composite laminates have often been suggested for applications in aerospace morphing structures, damping, and energy storage, because of their ability to easily change their shape while being homogenized with the rest of the composite …

Entanglement and control of quantum states
… conditions,the photon field exhibits a bistable behavior,with quantum jumps between two metastable states.In the presence of a small peri- odic signal (i.e.,a modulation of the initial state of the two-level atoms crossing the single-mode resonator),the best synchronization of these …
