A new study examines structural buckling as a control method for solar sails, detailing kirigami cuts, simulations, and experiments to adjust spacecraft orientation efficiently.

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

Buckling Restrained Braces application to provide more resilient bridges have been subjected to cyclic displacement histories representative of yearly thermal demands and of earthquake excitations.

The exact analysis of thin-walled structures is a very difficult task and it has been the practice in design calculations to assess the buckling strength of such structures from the initial buckling ...

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 ...

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 because it ...

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 ...
