We present a critical advance in experimental testing of nonlinear structures. Traditional quasi-static experimental methods control the displacement or force at one or more load-i…

Shape Control for Experimental Continuation
R. M. Neville, R. M. J. Groh, A. Pirrera +1
An experimental method has been developed to locate unstable equilibria of nonlinear structures quasi-statically. The technique involves loading a structure by application of eithe…
