Abstract

Bistable structures have attracted attention due to their unique properties and potential applications in soft robotics, logic gates and energy harvesting devices. The bi-stability is always an inherent property if the bistable structures are pre-designed. A reprogrammable bistable structure that does not require re-designing and re-fabricating the prototype is highly desirable. Despite its vast potential and burgeoning interest, the field of reprogrammable bistable structures lacks a cohesive and comprehensive review. Therefore, this paper presents a state-of-the-art review of recent advances in the basic structural forms, key parameters determining bistable characteristics, active regulation mechanisms, and potential applications of reprogrammable bistable structures. It also presents the remaining challenges and suggests possible future research directions in the field of reprogrammable bistable structures. This review will provide valuable insights for researchers and engineers to explore the vast potential of reprogrammable bistable structures.

可重新编程双稳态结构综述

双稳态结构因其独特的特性和在软机器人、逻辑门和能量收集装置中的潜在应用而备受关注。如果双稳态结构是预先设计好的，那么双稳态总是一种固有特性。无需重新设计和制造原型的可重新编程双稳态结构是非常理想的。尽管可再编程双稳态结构潜力巨大，关注度也日益高涨，但这一领域却缺乏连贯而全面的综述。因此，本文对可再编程双稳态结构的基本结构形式、决定双稳态特性的关键参数、主动调节机制和潜在应用等方面的最新进展进行了综述。本综述还介绍了可再编程双稳态结构领域仍然存在的挑战，并提出了未来可能的研究方向。这篇综述将为研究人员和工程师探索可重编双稳态结构的巨大潜力提供宝贵的见解。

期刊介绍： Smart Materials and Structures (SMS) is a multi-disciplinary engineering journal that explores the creation and utilization of novel forms of transduction. It is a leading journal in the area of smart materials and structures, publishing the most important results from different regions of the world, largely from Asia, Europe and North America. The results may be as disparate as the development of new materials and active composite systems, derived using theoretical predictions to complex structural systems, which generate new capabilities by incorporating enabling new smart material transducers. The theoretical predictions are usually accompanied with experimental verification, characterizing the performance of new structures and devices. These systems are examined from the nanoscale to the macroscopic. SMS has a Board of Associate Editors who are specialists in a multitude of areas, ensuring that reviews are fast, fair and performed by experts in all sub-disciplines of smart materials, systems and structures. A smart material is defined as any material that is capable of being controlled such that its response and properties change under a stimulus. A smart structure or system is capable of reacting to stimuli or the environment in a prescribed manner. SMS is committed to understanding, expanding and dissemination of knowledge in this subject matter.
