Transition mechanism for a periodic bar-and-joint framework with limited degrees of freedom controlled by uniaxial load and internal stiffness

A specific periodic bar-and-joint framework with limited degrees of freedom is shown to have a transition mechanism when subjected to an external force. The static nonlinear elasticity of this framework under a uniaxial load is modelled with the two angular variables specifying the rotation and dist...
