Composite lattice structures have emerged as an indispensable solution in high‐performance engineering, particularly in aerospace and civil applications. These structures combine advanced composite ...

In the present work, the working state of the crane leg is analyzed and discussed, and its structure is optimized. SolidWorks software is used for modeling; ANSYS software is used for finite element ...

Roberto Ballarini, University of Houston Thomas and Laura Hsu Professor and department chair of Civil and Environmental Engineering, is leading the effort to predict the detrimental effects of ...

Objective The NABUCCO project aims to develop radically new concepts of adaptive and buckling-driven composite structures for next generation aircraft. In aeronautics, buckling is generally avoided ...

Engineers looked to nature to find a shape that could improve all kinds of slender structures, from building columns to bicycle spokes -- they found an answer in sea sponges. Judging by their name ...

An engineer has designed a model to guide better design of thin-walled structures, like planes, cars and submersibles, to avoid catastrophe like sudden collapse due to buckling. A University of ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] -- Judging by their name alone, orange puffball sea sponges might seem unlikely paragons of structural strength. But maintaining their shape at the bottom of the ...
