Tailoring strongly nonlinear negative stiffness

Negative, nonlinear stiffness elements have been recently designed as configurations of pairs or groups of linear springs. We propose a new design of such a system by using a single linear spring with its moving end rolling on a path described by an equation of varying complexity. We examine the eff...
