Geometric Effect on the Nonlinear Force-Displacement Relationship of Awl-Shaped Serpentine Microsprings for In-Plane Deformation

Even when made by brittle materials, awl-shaped serpentine microsprings (ASSMs) were found to have a nonlinear displacement–force relationship similar to springs made by ductile material. It is found that the nonlinear displacement–force relationship is due to the geometry and dimensions of the ASSM...
