Inspired by the humble deep-sea sponge, RMIT University engineers have developed a new material with remarkable compressive strength and stiffness that could improve architectural and product designs.
Results published in Composite Structures show with the same amount of material usage, the lattice is 13 times stiffer than existing auxetic materials, which are based on re-entrant honeycomb designs.
The double lattice design was inspired by the intricate skeleton of a deep-sea sponge known as Venus' flower basket, which lives in the Pacific Ocean. Lead author of the latest RMIT study into the ...
High-pressure experiments generated the first direct observation of plastic ice, which has qualities of both crystalline ice and liquid water.
These decisions determine whether to keep or drop the trace data in the sampled data forwarded to Honeycomb. A tail-based sampling model allows you to inspect an entire trace at one time and make a ...
