Cable structures — ranging from long‐span bridges and aerial tramways to tensioned membrane roofs and offshore mooring lines — exhibit rich dynamic behaviour driven by inherent geometric nonlinearity ...

Aiming at the difficulty of accurately modeling the friction slip effect in engineering calculations for multi-span continuous cable structures, it is proposed to develop a three-dimensional slip ...

Systems of rigid rods acquire rigidity via the addition of random additional rods and cables, as captured via a graph theory. The research team's main object of study, shown here, is structures that ...

Are our bodies solid or liquid? We all know the convention—that solids maintain their shapes, while liquids fill the containers they're in. But often in the real world, those lines are blurred.
