Dynamically variable negative stiffness structures
Variable stiffness structures that enable a wide range of efficient load-bearing and dexterous activity are ubiquitous in mammalian musculoskeletal systems but are rare in engineered systems because of their complexity, power, and cost. We present a new negative stiffness-based load-bearing structure with dynamically tunable stiffness. Negative stiffness, traditionally used to achieve novel res...
متن کاملEndothelial dysfunction and arterial stiffness in pre-eclampsia demonstrated by the EndoPAT method
OBJECTIVES The EndoPAT method has been used as a non-invasive method for assessing endothelial function in several non-pregnant populations. We investigated its possible use in assessing endothelial dysfunction in pre-eclampsia. METHODS Two hundred and fifteen participants were recruited and grouped as pre-eclamptic cases (105) and normotensive controls (110). Endothelial function and arteria...
متن کاملExtreme stiffness systems due to negative stiffness elements
When an elastic object is pressed, we expect it to resist by exerting a restoring force. A reversal of this force corresponds to negative stiffness. If we combine elements with positive and negative stiffness in a composite, it is possible to achieve stiffness greater than ~or less than! that of any of the constituents. This behavior violates established bounds that tacitly assume that each pha...
متن کاملAdvanced damper with negative structural stiffness elements
Negative stiffness is understood as the occurrence of a force in the same direction as the imposed deformation. Structures and composites with negative stiffness elements enable a large amplification in damping. It is shown in this work, using an experimental approach, that when a flexible flat-ends column is aligned in a post-buckled condition, a negative structural stiffness and large hystere...
متن کاملNegative Stiffness Honeycombs for Recoverable Shock Isolation
Negative stiffness honeycomb materials are comprised of unit cells that exhibit negative stiffness or snap-through-like behavior. Under an external load of small magnitude, a negative stiffness honeycomb exhibits large effective elastic modulus, equivalent to those of other standard honeycomb topologies. When the external load reaches a predetermined threshold, the negative stiffness cells begi...
