A viral video — and road closures in multiple states — highlight how extreme heat can mess with aging infrastructure.
Both linear-buckling analysis and modal analysis (which is also linear) can predict a large number of modes. In a buckling analysis, the only mode of practical importance is the first one with a ...
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 ...
It is impossible to determine if premature buckling or compressive failure has occurred simply by observing the test because each happens too quickly. Likewise, it is impossible to determine if ...
Scleral buckling is a surgical procedure used to repair a retinal detachment. Learn more about when you need it, how to prepare for the surgery, and the long-term outlook.
Knee buckling is common and can signify injury or an underlying condition. It can affect people of all ages and levels of fitness. It is often possible to treat it at home or with physical therapy.
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.
Knee buckling is when one or both knees feel weak and give out. It can be accompanied by pain, but not always. If it happens a lot, it could be a sign of an underlying medical condition.
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 ...
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 ...
