Those structures, which may be in the shapes of spherical or cylindrical shells, can efficiently carry relatively large loads, but their slenderness makes them susceptible to buckling-induced ...

A team of researchers from China and the US has introduced a new method to improve the performance of high-enthalpy elastic ...

Their performance in compression is less good as the fibers are now loaded in compression and can become unstable to buckling before the onset of plastic deformation. This behavior is illustrated in ...
