Dynamics of viscoelastic snap-through

We study the dynamics of snap-through when viscoelastic effects are present. To gain analytical insight we analyse a modified form of the Mises truss, a single-degree-of-freedom structure, which features an ‘inverted’ shape that snaps to a ‘natural’ shape. Motivated by the anomalously slow snap-thro...
