Negative stiffness honeycombs are a hexagonal cell structure that turns soft under pressure, but then resumes its resiliency without internal breakage. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share ...

This study investigates the buckling of a uniaxially compressed neo-Hookean thin film bonded to a neo-Hookean substrate. Previous studies have shown that the elastic bifurcation is supercritical if r ...

Linear finite-element analysis does not provide enough information about buckling to make correct design decisions, especially when designing lightweight components ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) All mechanical systems exhibit vibrational resonances, where energy transmission through the structure spikes at certain natural frequencies. This resonance effect stems from the ...
