A pharmaceutical research center in an office park, a new middle school in a growing town, or a performing arts center in a big city. When designing an architectural building facade, the options are ...

Composite structural systems that integrate timber and concrete have emerged as a promising solution in modern construction, combining the unique strengths of each material. By harnessing the high ...

Steps are currently being taken to move towards large primary structures, e.g. integrally-stiffened skin panels. New materials, innovative design concepts and aeronautics are key innovation factors.

Designers of composites are learning that if they are to be able to guarantee component and system performance, repeatability and reliability, it is critical that they have access to more sensor and ...

Composite construction, which optimises the complementary strengths of materials such as steel and concrete, has become a mainstay in modern engineering. Central to these systems are shear connection ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory have created a new, AI-powered system for designing more durable microstructured ...

One common misconception is that belts will slip more frequently on composite pulleys than on metal pulleys. Not so! The wedging action of V-belts is so efficient that slip should never be an issue; ...

The University of Sheffield AMRC worked with Tinsley Bridge and Performance Engineered Solutions to create a lighter alternative to the tubular steel bar currently used for suspension units. Photo ...

NASA is developing new deployable structures and materials technologies for solar sail propulsion systems destined for future low-cost deep space missions. Just as a sailboat is powered by wind in a ...

This pattern represents part-whole hierarchies of objects such that the consumers or the clients can treat the objects and also the compositions of objects in a uniform manner Design patterns are ...
