The collective snapping of a pair of bumping buckled beams

This dataset contains images and driving protocols used in the paper: "The collective snapping of a pair of bumping buckled beams", published in Extreme Mechanics Letters. Included in this repository are the python scripts that parse and plot the data as well as the required data to reproduce the figures in the main paper. Reproducing the figures is accomplished with the python files: abaqusdata.py abaqusdata_plot.py experimentaldata.py experimentaldata_plot.py lammpsdata.py lammpsdata_plot.py Which read out a subsets of data from the data directory included in the rar files: experimental_data\2022-12-20 Dstar measurements compliation\ experimental_data\2022-09-21 Zooming in to Dstar\ lammpsdata\LAMMPSTESTING\3\ lammpsdata\LAMMPSTESTING\5\ lammpsdata\LAMMPSTESTING\63\ abaqusdata\2022-10-04 ABAQUS results\ abaqusdata\2022-09-28 ABAQUS SKSGO\ abaqusdata\2022-09-28 ABAQUS YUKIC\ abaqusdata\2022-09-29 ABAQUS XYHCV\ Furthermore, the source images for the composed figures are included as well. images\Lammps N=4 sym shots\ images\Lammps N=4 assym shots\ images\two_beam_stability\ images\002_13\ images\002_49\ images\pictures\
