A viral video — and road closures in multiple states — highlight how extreme heat can mess with aging infrastructure.

Buckling is a failure mode that occurs in columns and other members that are loaded in compression. It is a sudden change deformation that occurs at a certain critical load. In this video we ...

At Jalopnik we've done at least one story on road buckling every summer for the past three years. The Environmental Protection Agency states that the number of heat waves has tripled between the ...

Clear buckling sequence and contact-induced stiffening were observed only in the yield buckling regime when two unit cells were connected in series. Yield buckling also effectively prevented unwanted ...

An engineer has designed a model to guide better design of thin-walled structures, like planes, cars and submersibles, to avoid catastrophe like sudden collapse due to buckling.

IBM’s Model F keyboards are prized among keyboard enthusiasts. Introducing buckling spring switches over a capacitive printed circuit board (PCB) in the early 80s, they’re considered the ...

Titan sub disaster may have been caused by ‘micro-buckling’, says engineer. Experts had warned that the submersible’s novel carbon fibre hull might be vulnerable to weakening over time ...
