The Princeton University course on German thin-shell structures in fall 2012 that resulted in the exhibition "Evolution of German Shells: Efficiency in Form" was co-taught by Sigrid Adriaenssens and ...

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 ...

Sigrid Adriaenssens and Branko Glišić, assistant professors of civil and environmental engineering at Princeton University, co-taught a course on German thin-shell structures in the fall of 2012 that ...

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 ...

A structure much like a liquid crystal allows the shell of a scarab beetle to circularly polarize light, scientists in the US have discovered. Mohan Srinivasarao of the Georgia Institute of Technology ...
