Bistable composite laminates have the potential advantage in the fields of wind energy harvesting and deformable wings, which involve many fluid–structure interaction issues. This paper presents the fluid–structure interaction analysis of a cantilevered bistable hybrid symmetrical laminate (BHSL) in the uniform wind. In this work, a finite element model based on the Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is used to analyze the wind-induced response of the BHSL and its variations with respect to wind speed and laminate length. Then, the wind-induced vibration behavior of BHSL is verified by wind tunnel tests. The finite element analysis (FEA) results are in good agreement with the experimental results. The results show that as the wind speed increases, the BHSL transitions from a single-well vibration response to a cross-well vibration response. The wind-induced vibration analysis of BHSL will provide analytical methods for its application in deformable wings and energy harvesting for wind-induced vibration. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
