Researchers from Skoltech have uncovered physical principles governing the remote "tuning" of nanocatalysts, where the ...

Thin shell structures are widely used in high-performance engineering due to their favorable strength-to-weight characteristics and capacity for distributed load-bearing. However, traditional ...

A new study just made a big leap in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM): researchers have found a way to drastically cut down the number of sensors needed to monitor thin-walled structures—without ...

Structural engineer John V. “Jack” Christiansen, a leader in the design of thin-shell concrete structures, died on Aug. 16 on Bainbridge Island, Wash. He would have turned 90 on Sept. 28. The most ...
