Recent studies note the lack of growth in productivity and innovation in the construction fields. Quickly falling behind other sectors, this stagnation often leads to projects that are over-budget or ...

A research paper by scientists at the University of Coimbra proposed a soft robotic hand that composed of soft actuator cores and an exoskeleton, featuring a multimaterial design aided by finite ...

If the first 10 percent of design effort accounts for 90 percent of project success, how might that reality change the design effort? How does it change an owner’s expectations of how the team works ...

Aerodynamic shape optimization and design sits at the intersection of fluid mechanics, computational modelling and advanced optimisation algorithms. This field seeks to refine the contours of ...
