Analytical models predict stiffness and buckling of woven columns
—
in EngineeringWhat the study found The study found that purely analytical models can predict the buckling load and stiffness of woven columns. It also found that different buckling modes depend on the ratio of horizontal to vertical weaver width. Why the authors say this matters The authors conclude that the work advances understanding of the mechanics…
Nonreciprocal stiffness and damping decouple wave control in elastic lattices
—
in MechanicsNonreciprocal elastic lattices with engineered damping enable decoupled control of wave amplification and propagation, allowing independent tuning of temporal growth and velocity characteristics.
Soil properties affect landing airbag cushioning performance
—
in EngineeringExplore how soil parameters like density and shear modulus affect landing airbag cushioning performance through integrated dynamics modeling and experimental validation for aerospace systems.
Outer-ligament designs increase stiffness and broaden bandgaps
—
in EngineeringNovel auxetic metamaterial designs with enhanced outer ligaments achieve 54.57% higher stiffness and broader elastic bandgaps, resolving traditional trade-offs through geometric optimization.
