This study investigates the static and dynamic behavior of prestressed steel stayed columns (PSCs), with a particular emphasis on buckling performance under both axial and seismic loading conditions.

Functionally graded shell structures combine spatially varying material properties with curved geometries to achieve tailored strength, stiffness and stability characteristics. These shells often ...

Motivated by the desire to determine the simplest 3-D structure that could take advantage of mechanical instability to collapse reversibly, a group of engineers at MIT and Harvard University were ...

Flowers are employing a materials science phenomenon typically associated with failures in structural engineering to produce exquisite three-dimensional petal patterns to lure pollinators. Flowers are ...
