This work presents a formulation for the design of
tileable
bistable structures using a topology optimization method. Modeling is based on a ground structure approach, where each member is represented using a non-linear beam. A member is either hinged or fixed at either end and a rubber-like material is used to model the hinges. The optimization is implemented using a genetic algorithm. The methodology developed is illustrated with an example.
