Evaluation of systems containing negative stiffness elements for vibration and shock isolation

The research presented in this thesis focuses on the modeling, design, and experimentation of systems containing negative stiffness mechanisms for both vibration and shock isolation. The negative stiffness element studied in this research is an axially compressed beam. If a beam is axially compresse...
