Effect of the curvature of the cross-section on buckling characteristics of convex-tape-shaped Cu-Al-Mn shape memory alloy elements

When an elongated columnar shape memory alloy (SMA) element buckles, in some cases it exhibits negative stiffness. This post-buckling negative stiffness can be repeatedly used as SMAs can recover their shape. This property has potential application to passive vibration isolation devices. A previous...
