A variable stiffness structure includes a first negative stiffness element configured to buckle in a first direction, a second negative stiffness element configured to buckle in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and an actuator operatively coupled to ends of the first and second negative stiffness elements to control a stiffness of the variable stiffness structure. The first negative stiffness element and the second negative stiffness element are mode-3 buckling beams.
