The program builds on the strengths of the world-renowned structural mechanics faculty and elite Chicago-based structural design firms. The theoretical and behavioral study of structures is ...

In a rather surprising turn of events, a new study using techniques from structural mechanics has suggested that Eastern ...

My expertise lies at the interface between mathematics on one hand, and solid mechanics, structural engineering & biology on the other hand. Current projects include morphing structures, wound healing ...

A flurry of recent papers report structural results on proteins that are essential for membrane fusion during exocytosis, providing a starting point from which a mechanistic understanding of ...

It's possible that the wheel was invented by copper miners in the Carpathian Mountains up to 6,000 years ago, according to a modeling study that uses techniques from structural mechanics.

What Drives Us in Mechanical Engineering? Mechanical engineers use the principles of energy, materials, and mechanics to design and manufacture machines and devices of all types. At Drexel, our ...

Understanding fatigue failure mechanisms, testing methods, and strategies to enhance material fatigue resistance is critical ...

Few questions have captivated humankind more than the origin of life on Earth. How did the first living cells come to exist? How did these early protocells develop the structural membranes necessary ...

A new UVA-created mobile augmented reality app will allow students to test the limits of their understanding about how mechanical forces affect frequently used construction components.
