How core-shell nanoparticles work At the heart of the study are core-shell nanoparticles, where a core made of one or several metals is coated with an ultra-thin platinum shell. Platinum is an ...

Finite element analysis (FEA) of shell structures encompasses the numerical simulation of thin‐walled, curved bodies subject to mechanical loads and environmental effects. Shell elements combine ...

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 ...

video: Princeton professors Sigrid Adriaenssens and Branko Glisic co-taught an undergraduate course on German thin-shell structures that has resulted in a new exhibit, "Evolution of German Shells: ...
