Utilize advanced techniques to evaluate structures. Advanced analysis is necessary for structures that are complex, exhibit finite deformations, are loaded beyond their first yield point, or ...

Fracture mechanics and fatigue analysis remain central to understanding and predicting material failure in metallic systems. These disciplines focus on characterising the initiation and propagation of ...

Learn to address the likelihood of structural failure. Perform risk analysis associated with environmental loads to structures under static and dynamic loadings. Master the basics of performance-based ...

Through an NSF grant, SLU in partnership with Rose Hulman Institute of Technology, has created learning modules for experiential learning in structural engineering. There are twelve modules broken ...

Civil/Structural engineers design and maintain buildings, bridges, and other structures constructed from various materials (concrete, steel, timber, masonry, and reinforced plastics). They use modern ...

Rubber-like materials have outstanding damping properties because they can concurrently display flow-like and spring-like characteristics. Recently, Japanese researchers have created a novel technique ...
