Instability and softening in a continuous bi-rod
We present a continuous bi-rod structure composed of two flanges and a pleated web. The structure is characterised by an instability mechanism that couples axial contraction and twisting. In so doing, the latter can be controlled by the former. Moreover, a remarkable softening response is observed i...
