The sustainability of motion control systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
With all the damage to structures due to dynamic loading in the past few decades, the demand for motion control systems in structures has skyrocketed. Many different technologies for combating wind and earthquake loads ...
Structural opportunities for glass
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
The use of glass has increased in the last decade. But glass is still not well known by designers because it has an unusual behavior when loaded, it is brittle. Glass acquires many of its characteristics during it manufacturing ...
