The multistable elastic behavior of a shallow dome with a cosine-curved profile is investigated in this work. The dome exhibits snap-through instability and could be used as a building block for energy dissipation mechanism in structures subjected to cyclic loading and high deformation demands. Numerical and experimental studies were carried on the geometric and material properties of the cosine-curved domes (CCD) under concentrated load at the apex. Finite element analyses (FEA), validated by experimental tests on 3D printed specimens, were conducted to study the controlling geometric and material properties of the CCD. Three types of response were recognized and discussed based on the force- and strain energy-displacement curves. Limitations on the geometric parameters that govern the recoverability of the original shape and the stability state upon load removal are also identified. In addition, empirical relations to estimate the limit-point load and displacement, and to characterize the snap-through response were developed. Good agreement was observed using the determined limits on the geometric parameters and the developed relations with the results from FEA and experimental tests.
