The effect of bending pre-stress on the bi-stable behaviour of a tape-spring is investigated by specifying a thermal gradient through its thickness, in order to simulate residual bending. It is shown that the magnitude of the self-stress state which arises influences the bi-stability characteristics of the pre-stressed tape-spring.

Abstract
The effect of bending pre-stress on the bi-stable behaviour of a tape-spring is investigated by specifying a thermal gradient through its thickness, in order to simulate residual bending. It is shown that the magnitude of the self-stress state which arises influences the bi-stability characteristics of the pre-stressed tape-spring.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
