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 provide a positive answer to both of these questions in our paper: Koutsogiannakis, Bigoni, Dal Corso. Double restabilization and design of force-displacement response of the extensible elastica with movable constraints, European Journal of Mechanics - A/Solids (2022)
