Water undergoes structural changes in the thin layer surrounding hydrophobic molecules, researchers at Purdue University report (Nature, DOI: 10.1038/nature11570). These previously predicted, but ...
Cylindrical shell structures are widely employed across engineering sectors such as aerospace, marine, and civil construction, owing to their high strength-to-weight ratios and efficiency in material ...
Toughening has always been an important research direction of structure ceramics. The addition of secondary phases to the ceramic matrix to prepare composite ceramics is an effective toughening ...
CSCI President Daniel Goldburg oversees ongoing residential shell construction operations, applying the same discipline and performance mindset that define both his racing background and his ...
Thin shell structures are widely used in high-performance engineering due to their favorable strength-to-weight characteristics and capacity for distributed load-bearing. However, traditional ...
The Princeton University course on German thin-shell structures in fall 2012 that resulted in the exhibition "Evolution of German Shells: Efficiency in Form" was co-taught by Sigrid Adriaenssens and ...
Although nature does not necessarily provide the optimal form, it still outperforms many artificial systems and offers ...
