Many transmission structures are tested to failure at full-scale, leading to an improved understanding of capacity compared to most structures. Typically when extreme wind events occur, the maximum ...

Structural dynamics testing offers capabilities for quasi-static and dynamic testing of small- and large-scale structural components and systems (e.g., large-scale concrete columns and frames) under ...

Air vehicle and radar designers aspire to the union of form and function: antennas that perform both structural and sensing roles. Such technology could revolutionize battlefield intelligence, ...

• Structural properties of bolted joints depend on bolt and clamped-member stiffnesses. • Clamped members can be treated as a sleeve or hollow cylinder. Sound designs of bolted joints rely on a good ...
