Fig. 3. (A) Force-displacement relationship of an elastic rod for L=100
µm, R=2 µm, and E=2 GPa. As
increases, the
behavior transitions from cantilever bending to column buckling. (B) Normal
force-displacement relationship of the full elastica model (black) and
small-deflection, linearized approximation (gray) under differing shear loads
for an elastic rod with L=100 µm, R=2 µm, E=2
GPa,
=45°, and µ=0.25.
