HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - NASA engineers improvised in Huntsville on Wednesday when their carefully planned - and televised - "can crush" experiment didn't crush a rocket shell as expected. But improvise ...

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 ...

Buckling in shell structures, encompassing both spherical and cylindrical forms, remains a central focus in structural mechanics due to its implications in civil engineering, aerospace, soft robotics ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

"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 ...
