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 ...

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: Efficiency ...

Different structures have different functions or purposes. The individual parts of any structure need to be selected, arranged and fixed together carefully to make sure the structure carries out its ...
