A bistable mechanism with linear negative stiffness and large in-plane lateral stiffness: design, modeling and case studies

<p>To overcome the limitations of conventional bistable mechanisms, this paper proposes a novel type of bistable mechanism with linear negative stiffness and large in-plane lateral stiffness. By connecting the novel negative-stiffness mechanism in parallel with a positive-stiffness mechanism,...
