Two Dimensional Analysis of Vibration Isolation of Rigid Bar Supported by Buckled or Pre-bent Struts

The purpose of this research is to study a new type of vibration isolator, utilizing the post-buckled stiffness of elastic struts (or columns). The advantage of the post-buckled state is that ideally it can support more static load with a relatively small static deflection than traditional vibratio...
