The seismic design of conventional structures is mainly addressed considering the direct construction cost; the life cycle costs (LCCs) are often neglected. This paper proposes a performance-based ...
A research team has developed a methodology to precisely design and control the "degree of disorder" in nanopattern arrays using metal-infiltrated block copolymer (BCP) thin films. The work was led by ...
A computationally efficient dehomogenization technique was developed based on a bioinspired diffusion-based pattern generation algorithm to convert an orientation field into explicit large-scale fluid ...
Programmable material systems are emerging architectural structures but the co-design of structure, material, and external stimuli present grand challenges. A team with Northwestern Engineering’s Wei ...
With the growing demand for resilient, efficient, and low carbon infrastructure, increasing attention has been directed toward novel materials and ...
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 ...
