Through his extensive research, inventions and structural experiments, Buckminster Fuller created the term tensegrity to describe "self-tensioning structures composed of rigid structures and cables, ...

Pasta platforms, egg-citing supports, and curious cups! Dr. Rob and the Crew “build” an understanding of the science of Structural Forces, including compression, shear, tension, and torsion! STEM ...

The ultra-high tensile ductility of ECC provides an alternative way to enhance the ductility of structural members by using high-ductile matrix material instead of simply increasing reinforcements.

I believe there is no better way to understand the relationship between tension and compression than to analyze how a suspension bridge works. Perhaps there is no better suspension bridge to analyze ...

To evaluate the performance of coil-based ureteral stents in terms of tensile strength and the radial compression force. Three Cook Resonance (RES) metallic coil stents and three coil-reinforced ...
