摘要

This study proposes an innovative design methodology for bistable triangular composite laminates, establishing for the first time a quantitative relationship between geometric parameters and snap-through behavior. Nine triangular configurations with distinct geometric features were systematically generated by maintaining a constant base length while varying side length and vertex angle. Finite element analysis (FEA) models, rigorously validated against 3D-scanned prototypes, were employed to accurately compute the static equilibrium states of each configuration. Through comparative analysis of dual-point loading experiments and corresponding simulations, this research reveals for the first time unique evolution patterns during state transitions across different configurations (acute/right/obtuse triangles): obtuse configurations exhibit significant sensitivity to loading position, while acute configurations demonstrate more stable transition characteristics. The breakthrough enables predictive snap-through behavior based on geometric parameters, providing theoretical foundations and design guidelines for the precise placement of remotely controlled actuators.
