Static bistability of spherical caps
- Abstract:
-
Depending on its geometry, a spherical shell may exist in one of two stable states without the application of any external force: there are two ‘self-equilibrated’ states, one natural and the other inside out (or ‘everted’). Though this is familiar from everyday life—an umbrella is remarkably stable, yet a contact lens can be easily turned inside out—the precise shell geometries for which bistability is possible are not known. Here, we use experiments and finite-element simulations to determi...
