Researchers have developed a method for optimizing the initial tension of strings in tensegrity structures as well as a second technique to maximize the strength and minimize the weight of the rods ...

Differential cohomology has emerged as a pivotal tool in modern mathematical physics, providing a refined framework that unites topological invariants with differential geometric data. In the realm of ...

Researchers at MIT have developed a new way to design 3D structures that deploy from a flat form with a single pull of a string. The method could help engineers rapidly assemble complex structures in ...

Scientists at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) have devised two mathematical tools considered to be a major contribution to the optimal design of a new generation of deformable bridges, ...
