1 Introduction Mechanochromic strain sensors are being widely developed in the form of anti-counterfeiting devices,[1, 2] smart textiles,[3] health monitoring devices,[4] and soft robotics[5, 6] to improve quality of life. Color changes provide visual cues that are easily detected by the human eye.

AbstractBistability enables adaptive designs with tunable deflections for applications including morphing wings, robotic grippers, and consumer products. Composite laminates may be designed to exhibit bistability due to pre-strains that develop during the processing of the polymer matrix, enabling fast reconfiguration between two stable shapes. Unfortunately, designing bistable laminates is challenging because of their highly nonlinear behavior.
