Indigenous groups created the small beads from mollusk shells. They're the first artifacts of their kind ever found at the Colony of Avalon in Newfoundland ...

Cylindrical shell structures are widely employed across engineering sectors such as aerospace, marine, and civil construction, owing to their high strength-to-weight ratios and efficiency in material ...

A new asymptotic approximation of the dynamic equations in the two-dimensional classical theory of thin-elastic shells is established for a circular cylindrical shell. It governs long wave vibrations ...

Cylindrical shells under axial compression have long been a focal topic in structural engineering owing to their high load‐carrying efficiency and sensitivity to geometric imperfections. Contemporary ...

Engineers looking to nature for inspiration have long assumed that layered structures like those found in mollusk shells enhance a material's toughness, but a study shows that's not always the case.
