A new academic review dissects how 3D printed concrete behaves in earthquakes and where the technology must improve to earn code approval.

A new technique from Purdue University is designed to improve missiles, engines and drinking glasses made from ceramic materials. (Stock photo) Something as simple as an electric field could soon make ...

The KAIST research team led by Professor Seungchul Lee from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, in collaboration with ...

Although steel has been the workhorse of the automotive industry since the 1920s, the share by weight of steel and iron in an average light vehicle is now gradually decreasing, from 68.1 per cent in ...

A team of scientists from Ames National Laboratory and Texas A&M University developed a new way to predict metal ductility. This quantum-mechanics-based approach fills a need for an inexpensive, ...

Automotive, aerospace and defence applications require metallic materials with ultra-high strength. However, in some particular high-loading structural applications, metallic materials shall also have ...

Strength and flexibility are two opposites that usually need to be balanced in steel. But now engineers at Purdue University and Sandia National Labs have developed a new treatment that can be applied ...

The diagrams show the effect of changing the carbon content on the mechanical properties of low carbon steels that have been annealed. It is seen (a) that the ultimate tensile strength of these alloys ...
