Driverless cars have intrigued humans for centuries. Leonardo Da Vinci sketched a self-driving cart in the late 1400s, and mechanical autopilots for airplanes appeared in the 1930s. The concept of a self-driving car was showcased at the New York World’s Fair in GM’s Futurama exhibit. Today advances in GPS, digital mapping, computing power, and sensors
As a structural engineer, I rely heavily on specialized software to enhance our design and analysis processes. These tools are crucial for creating safe, innovative architectural designs. With capabilities in modeling, analysis, design, simulation, and visualization, they help ensure the structural integrity of our projects and streamline tasks like structural analysis and the design of
Have you ever considered the stability, safety, and efficiency of the cars we drive, the airplanes we travel in, and the buildings where we live and work? Structural analysis is a key discipline in engineering that addresses these concerns. This article covers basic concepts of structural mechanics, methods of analysis, and their applications in various
