There is an increasing trend for structural engineers to limit their role to the design of key structural members (typically beams and columns) and not other structural aspects. This can be concerning ...

Develop a longer wind turbine blade that will produce more power output without increasing blade weight, the load on the turbine or the costs for transportation to and assembly at the wind farm site.

In a collaborative effort between Texas A&M University and Sandia National Laboratories, researchers have significantly improved a new joining technology, interlocking metasurfaces (ILMs), designed to ...
