Non-smooth dynamics of buckling based metainterfaces: rocking-like motion and bifurcations
Nikolin Hima, Francesco D' Annibale, Francesco Dal Corso
The non-smooth dynamics is investigated for an elastic planar metainterface composed by two layers of buckling elements, each one allowing motion on one side only. Through the anal…
Configurational forces on elastic structures
Davide Bigoni, Federico Bosi, Francesco Dal Corso +1
The discovery of configurational forces acting on elastic structures and its initial applications are reviewed. Configurational forces are related to the possibility that an elasti…
Double restabilization and design of force-displacement response of the extensible elastica with movable constraints
Panagiotis Koutsogiannakis, Davide Bigoni, Francesco Dal Corso
A highly deformable rod, modelled as the extensible elastica, is connected to a movable clamp at one end and to a pin sliding along a frictionless curved profile at the other. Bifu…
Buckling vs unilateral constraint for a multistable metamaterial element
Nikolin Hima, Davide Bigoni, Francesco Dal Corso
A structural element is designed and investigated, forming the basis for the development of an elastic multistable metamaterial. The leitmotif of the structural design is the imple…
