Abstract

A composite material system comprised of a monostable negative stiffness (NS) structure within a polymer matrix was designed, fabricated, and experimentally evaluated. The monostable negative stiffness (NS) structure was designed using a combination of analytical and numerical models and manufactured in stainless steel. The NS structure was arranged in parallel with different polymer matrices to experimentally evaluate the effects of the matrix properties on the overall stiffness and energy dissipation of the composite NS-matrix system when loaded in uniaxial compression. A strong influence of the matrix properties on the stiffness and energy absorption capacity of the composite system was observed. Unlike conventional composites for which there is a natural tradeoff between stiffness and energy absorption capacity, the composite NS-matrix system enhanced stiffness while simultaneously improving energy absorption relative to a neat matrix, but only when the stiffness of the matrix was carefully matched to the stiffness of the NS structure.
