This course presents the fundamental principles of structural analysis, determination of reactions, internal forces and deflections under the static load conditions. The course is mainly focused to ...

Multi-stable morphing structures have the characteristic of being stable at more than two configurations without the need for locking by actuators. In addition, such structures have special energy ...

A new analysis could help architects and builders reduce the carbon footprint of truss structures, the crisscrossing struts that bolster bridges, towers, and buildings. Buildings are a big contributor ...

The rise of machine learning has fueled the discovery of new materials and, especially, metamaterials—truss lattices being their most prominent class. While their tailorable properties have been ...

Introduction Have you ever driven across a bridge or seen a building that is under construction and noticed the large metal support girders? What about wooden beams in a house that is under ...
