Structural analysis of lattice transmission structures can be a time-consuming task. Fortunately, many tools and software aids have been developed to streamline the process. However, users must employ ...

Researchers have developed a lattice structure capable of absorbing a wide range of vibrations while also being useful as a load-bearing component -- for example, in propellers, rotors and rockets. It ...

To strengthen alloys, metallurgists often tweak the size and orientation of microscopic crystal grains within the material. Now researchers have applied the same principles at a much larger scale to ...

In early 1920s Massachusetts, the Somerset-Fall River lines were installed on Industrial Era lattice structures. According to “Somerset,” a pictorial history book of the town by James Edward Bradbury, ...

Metalworkers and metallurgists have long appreciated the ability to tailor the performance characteristics of steel (an alloy of iron and carbon), including their strength, hardness, ductility and ...
