During both the conceptual and schematic design phases for the San Francisco 49ers' stadium, the structural engineer developed a matrix of 66 structural-system scenarios. Then, the design and ...
Inspired by a toy, the 'buckliball' -- a collapsible structure fabricated from a single piece of material -- represents a new class of 3-D, origami-like structures. Motivated by the desire to ...
This study investigates the static and dynamic behavior of prestressed steel stayed columns (PSCs), with a particular emphasis on buckling performance under both axial and seismic loading conditions.
Functionally graded shell structures combine spatially varying material properties with curved geometries to achieve tailored strength, stiffness and stability characteristics. These shells often ...
Flowers are employing a materials science phenomenon typically associated with failures in structural engineering to produce exquisite three-dimensional petal patterns to lure pollinators. In civil ...
Motivated by the desire to determine the simplest 3-D structure that could take advantage of mechanical instability to collapse reversibly, a group of engineers at MIT and Harvard University were ...
