摘要
En 中文
Multistability plays an important role in advanced engineering applications such as meta structures, deployable structures, and reconfigurable robotics. However, most existing multistability design is based on the two-dimensional (2D)/3D series or parallel combinations of bistable unit cells, which are derived from snap-through instability, nonrigid foldable origami structures, and compliant mechanism, due to the lack of a generic multi stable unit cell. Here, we develop a tristable kirigami cuboid by creating a set of elastic joints only effective in a specific motion range which integrates the elastic sheets and switchable hinge axes inspired by the kinematic behaviors of a kirigami cuboid with thick facets. The energy barriers between the stable states can be programmed by the geometric design parameters and material properties of the elastic joints. Taking the tristable cuboid as a unit cell, we construct a family of metastructures with multiple stable states. The number of stable states, the combination of unit stable states, and their transform sequences can be programmed by the number of unit cells, unit design parameters, and loading modes and loading sequences. We also apply this tristable cuboid to the design of frequency reconfigurable antenna with three programmable working frequencies, which demonstrates that such versatile multistability and structural diversity facilitate the development of multifunctional materials and devices.
