Nonlinear Dynamics of Discrete and Continuous Mechanical Systems with Snap-through Instabilities

Nonlinear Dynamics of Discrete and Continuous Mechanical Systems with Snap-through Instabilities

<p>The primary focus of this dissertation is the characterization of snap-through buckling of discrete and continuous systems. Snap-through buckling occurs as the consequence of two factors, first the destabilization, or more often the disappearance of, an equilibrium position under the change...
