Zusammenfassung:Instable behaviour of rigid and compliant structures is in most cases of technical applications an attribute which have to be avoided. Nevertheless instable behaviour of compliant structures can be used positively in form of a snap-through. An abrupt change will take place in case of a snap-through from a state of equilibrium to another state. The critical load complies with two or more states of equilibrium. The article will show the significant attributes of instable behaviour in form of a snap-through. This will be illustrated by the example of a spherical shaped structure. In consideration of non-linear material characteristics, the behaviour of such structures under pressurisation against geometrical properties was researched.
