We experimentally study compression of thin plates in rectangular boxes with
variable height. A cascade of buckling is generated. It gives rise to a
self-similar evolution of elastic reaction of plates with box height which
surprisingly exhibits repetitive vanishing and negative stiffness. These
features are understood from properties of Euler's equation for elastica.
