Strength. Rigidity. Dependability. The ability to bear weight without buckling. These are all things that we look for when we build a mechanical structure. And in today’s Retrotechtacular we take a ...

Keywords: Earthquake engineering, seismic isolation, deformable rolling bearings, low-cost isolation for lightweight structures, triaxial shake table testing, and isolator behavior modeling. Abstract: ...

In typical rollable structures, the cross-section is flat in the storage phase so that it can wrap smoothly around a central hub, and transforms into a corrugated cross-section in the deployed phase ...

A new type of 3D-printed lattice structure has surprised researchers with its strength and light weight. It uses two different lattice structures merged together to eliminate the weak points normally ...
