Abstract: We present variable negative stiffness actuation (VnSA), an alternative method of achieving variable stiffness actuation based on the nonlinear deflection characteristics of buckling beams.

In the present work, a finite element model is developed to analyze the response of isotropic and orthotropic beams, a common structural element for aeronautics and astronautic applications. The ...
