Shell structures—thin, curved elements such as cylinders, spheres and domes—are prized for their high strength-to-weight ratio but are exceptionally sensitive to buckling instabilities. Even minute ...

Composite shell structures—thin, curved panels made from layered materials—are prized for their high strength-to-weight ratio and are central to aerospace, marine and automotive engineering. Classical ...

Thin shell structures are widely used in high-performance engineering due to their favorable strength-to-weight characteristics and capacity for distributed load-bearing. However, traditional ...

Anisogrid carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) lattice shells are one of the most efficient designs to minimize mass in heavily loaded structures for space vehicles. They comprise a regular pattern ...

The femtosecond laser maskless optical projection lithography (Fs-MOPL) technique is proposed to fabricate Ag@methacrylamide chitosan/poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (Ag@MP) micropatterns in one step ...
