Prefabricated concrete structures have gained increasing attention due to their advantages in construction efficiency and environmental performance. However, the mechanical performance of ...

I like to think that I am my best self when I’m unplugged in the Adirondacks, which I try to visit every summer. Without cell service or Wi-Fi, I’m not entirely unburdened, but I’m freer to express ...

Showing up on a great Bon Iver song, co-writing part of Justin Bieber’s best solo album, and landing a part in the next Paul Thomas Anderson movie is a good resumé—great, even. But what if you did all ...

We are structural engineers who design and supply cast steel connections for applications in buildings, bridges, and other structures. Our standardized Products and Custom steel castings have been ...

A sustainable and resilient built environment requires structural solutions that minimise the use of high-environmental impact materials, while ensuring sound structural behaviour to extreme events.

Welded joints exhibit fatigue failure potential from weld geometry and characteristics of the heat affected zone. In order to counteract fatigue, structures and components require larger thicknesses ...

Fatigue life is a key concern in welded-steel frames for mobile equipment that experience large and varying dynamic loads. For engineers who design welded-steel structures subject to dynamic loading, ...

Many manufacturing functions are becoming fully automated, thanks to engineers designing advanced industrial robots that make processes safer and more efficient. But will cobots replace manufacturing ...

When a beam is connected to a column, to resist the concentrated force acting at the column webs, stiffeners are provided connecting the two flanges of the column. Sometimes, when two different depths ...

Tesla accustomed us to using lithium-ion cells in cylindrical form factor, starting with 1865 (18650) in Model S/X, 2170 in Model 3/Y and soon 4680, but there is one exception - prismatic LFP cells.

This pole suffered a failure in the welded seam at an overlapping slip splice. A tubular steel transmission pole generally consists of a series of welded assemblies. The pole shafts and arms are ...

Clean, fast, flexible, cleanroom compatible and reliable: for the first time, LPKF Laser & Electronics is presenting laser systems for plastic welding at MT-Connect. These systems allow safe, hygienic ...
