How core-shell nanoparticles work At the heart of the study are core-shell nanoparticles, where a core made of one or several metals is coated with an ultra-thin platinum shell. Platinum is an ...

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 ...

Finite element analysis (FEA) of shell structures encompasses the numerical simulation of thin‐walled, curved bodies subject to mechanical loads and environmental effects. Shell elements combine ...

video: Princeton professors Sigrid Adriaenssens and Branko Glisic co-taught an undergraduate course on German thin-shell structures that has resulted in a new exhibit, "Evolution of German Shells: ...
