Keywords: Earthquake engineering, cable dynamics; nonlinear dynamics; flexible bus conductors; earthquake excitation; tensegrity; complementarity Abstract: The use of cables may be seen in different ...
Cable‐harnessed beam structures constitute a significant advancement in the design of modern engineering systems, where strategically routed cables are integrated into beam frameworks to enhance ...
Systems of rigid rods acquire rigidity via the addition of random additional rods and cables, as captured via a graph theory. The research team's main object of study, shown here, is structures that ...
Magnetically inflated cables can spring open a large (kilometer or larger) membrane space structure This can be used to make massive space telescopes, solar power collection systems, solar thermal ...
Scientists at Caltech and Princeton University have discovered that bacterial cells growing in a solution of polymers, such ...
SPIDER-LIKE, the drone spools cable behind it as it zips between supports. It is weaving a structure high above where ordinary building equipment can easily reach. This is construction as envisioned ...
