The mechanical strength and toughness of engineering materials are often mutually exclusive, posing challenges for material design and selection. To address this, a research team from The Hong Kong ...

Their trip mechanism consists of an electro-mechanical mechanism (a solenoid, which consists of a magnetic coil, housing and plunger/armature) that will react to the rapidly increasing current of ...

Disney Research: computational design of mechanical characters *Sometimes you just can't beat pretty. Start with computation, generate machinery.

Professor Liu's group considered the issue of optimal bicycle design from a mechanical perspective. They first analyzed rider–bicycle mechanisms, and mechanized the system as a double-crank-and ...
