In 1907, the Quebec Bridge was intended to be a masterpiece of cantilever engineering, the longest of its kind in the world. Instead, it became a tomb for 75 workers when the structure twisted and collapsed into the St. Lawrence River. The disaster was caused by a fundamental miscalculation of the b...
In welded joints, fatigue strength is linked to high stress concentrations along weld seams, which
makes their detection crucial for ensuring the structural integrity of welds. Manual measurement
methods are prone to human error and require extensive time to achieve comparability (Hammersberg
and Ol...
In 1968, a woman on the eighteenth floor of the newly built Ronan Point tower block in London struck a match to light her stove. A minor gas leak ignited, causing a small explosion. In a properly engineered building, this would have blown out the windows. Instead, the blast knocked out a single load...
This book introduces the challenges inherent in jointed structures and guides researchers to the still-open, pressing challenges that need to be solved to advance this critical field. The authors cover multiple facets of interfacial mechanics that pertain to jointed structures: tribological modeling...
The De Havilland Comet was an absolute marvel of British engineering—the world’s first commercial jetliner, promising to shrink the globe with unprecedented speed. But within a year of its triumphant launch, the planes began spontaneously exploding mid-flight in the clear blue sky, plummeting in...
What do you do when you discover that the stunning, highly innovative 59-story skyscraper you just built in the center of Manhattan has a fatal mathematical flaw, and is mathematically guaranteed to blow over and collapse if hit by a major hurricane? In 1978, the chief engineer of the Citigroup Cent...
