Dynamic Instability in Geomaterials Associated with the Presence of Negative Stiffness Elements
One of the mechanisms of instability in geomaterials is associated with the descending branch of stress-strain curve caused by internal fracturing. The descending stress-strain curve can also be produced by negative stiffness elements, one of the mechanisms of negative stiffness being the rotation of non-spherical grains. The presence of negative stiffness elements can cause dynamic instability in the geomaterials. We investigate a simple elastic model of dynamic instability consisting of chains of oscillators some with negative stiffness springs. We show that in a stable chain only one oscillator can have negative stiffness spring and formulate the criterion of stability.
