May a double restabilization of the trivial path occurr at monotonically increasing compression force?

May movable constraints be exploited to attain target force–displacement curves?

We would like to invite you to participate in the Mini-Symposium on "Mechanics and Physics of Structures" within "ESMC2022 - 11th European Solid Mechanics Conference" in Galway (Ireland), July 4-8, 2022.

The deadline for abstract submission is November 19th, 2021.

1 PhD position (36 months) within the EID-ITN Marie Curie project LIGHTEN, funded by European Union, is available at the University of Trento (Italy).
The student will be supervised by my colleague Diego Misseroni and myself (Francesco Dal Corso), and two engineers at the English company Tensys (where the student will spend 18 months). If you are interested, please read the below description and the attached announcement before to apply.

May a catastrophe machine be realized through an elastic continuous element?
We provide a positive answer to this question in our paper: Cazzolli, Misseroni, Dal Corso. Elastica catastrophe machine: theory, design and experiments. Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids.
