In an industry racing toward electrification, few innovations have proven as disruptive, or as quietly revolutionary, as the ...

Isotropic analysis of a composite oil pan reveals a maximum deflection of 4.1 mm and two potential failure points. Composites, or fiber-reinforced plastics (FRPs), give engineers a palette of options ...

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 composite parts can choose from a huge variety of fiber reinforcements and resin systems. Knowledge of material properties is a prerequisite to satisfactory product design, but cost is 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 ...

Walk through any modern business district today, and something feels different. Buildings aren’t quiet anymore. They speak, some feel energetic ...

This project aims to develop and validate bolted splice details for C-PSW/CF, a structural system designed for non-seismic regions like New York City and Boston. The focus is on areas where bolted ...
