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 ...

Composite lattice structures have emerged as an indispensable solution in high‐performance engineering, particularly in aerospace and civil applications. These structures combine advanced composite ...

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 because it ...

Negative stiffness honeycombs are a hexagonal cell structure that turns soft under pressure, but then resumes its resiliency without internal breakage. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share ...

Concrete pavement is prone to buckling because it’s rigid and has no space to expand when heated. Damaged or stressed infrastructure is a top climate impact on the built environment, according to the ...

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 ...
