"Micro-buckling" in the hull of the Titan submersible may have caused it to collapse under pressure last summer, scientists have proposed. Initially, the submersible—made of carbon fiber and ...

An engineer has designed a model to guide better design of thin-walled structures, like planes, cars and submersibles, to avoid catastrophe like sudden collapse due to buckling. A University of ...

Cylindrical shell structures are widely employed across engineering sectors such as aerospace, marine, and civil construction, owing to their high strength-to-weight ratios and efficiency in material ...

Objective The NABUCCO project aims to develop radically new concepts of adaptive and buckling-driven composite structures for next generation aircraft. In aeronautics, buckling is generally avoided ...

Roberto Ballarini, University of Houston Thomas and Laura Hsu Professor and department chair of Civil and Environmental Engineering, is leading the effort to predict the detrimental effects of ...
