In mechanical engineering, a bistable structure is one that has two stable mechanical shapes, particularly where they are stabilized by different curvature axes.[1]

A common example of a bistable structure is a slap bracelet.[1]

Bistable structures enable long tube-like structures to roll up into small cylinders.[1]
