Urban redevelopment in densely populated areas often requires demolition and replacement of aging buildings. As buildings are ...

The shape of biological structures, ranging from flower petals to the limbs or organs of animals, is often naturally best ...

We break down the five triangle arm locks that pro grapplers use to win, including Sarah Galvão, Gordon Ryan, and Jacob Couch ...

This paper presents a method of equilibrium path analysis and stability analysis of an equilibrium state for a rigid origami, which consists of rigid flat faces connected by straight crease lines ...

Integrin-mediated cell adhesion is essential for metazoan life. Integrins mediate the mechanical communication between extracellular matrix and cytoskeleton. How a stable mechanical connection between ...

Rate-stiffening and stress-relaxation are two mechanical behaviors that result from the viscoelasticity of biological structures. (A) In rate-stiffening, faster rates of strain increase the effective ...

I have a serious weakness for pure forms and simple geometry. What? You knew that already? I know, I’m becoming super predictable. Having said that, as much as I cannot get passed squares, rectangles, ...

Poisson’s ratio, ν, is a fundamental mechanical parameter that describes the ratio of the lateral to the longitudinal strain of a material under mechanical load. The precise value of the Poisson’s ...
