Study of the compliance and system integration of bistable structures for use as actuation mechanisms in bioinspired adaptive systems
Bistable structures are desirable for actuation mechanisms because they allow for the efficient use of actuators by reducing the power required to change and maintain equilibrium positions. There is currently an increased interest in compliant bistable structures, especially for use in the fields …

Optimal placement of binary actuators in deformable optical systems
… that elasticity can be exploited to construct mechanisms where constant magnitude actuators exhibit exponentially decaying influences on certain parts of the mechanism, allowing for designs where individual binary actuators correspond to binary bits of the required deformation. A planar truss …
