DOI: 10.1103/physrevlett.120.068001
Abstract: Filamentous polymer networks govern the mechanical properties of many biological materials. Force distributions within these networks are typically highly inhomogeneous, and, although the importance of force distributions for structural properties is well recognized, they are… read more here.

DOI: 10.62913/engj.v61i2.1322
Abstract: Braced frames intended to resist wind and seismic loads traditionally have been analyzed and designed as trusses with all joints modeled as pins, such that only the braces provide lateral force resistance. However, frames with… read more here.
