I believe there is no better way to understand the relationship between tension and compression than to analyze how a suspension bridge works. Perhaps there is no better suspension bridge to analyze ...

See how the forces of tension and compression are distributed in a suspension bridge. See how the forces of tension and compression are distributed in a suspension bridge.

Through his extensive research, inventions and structural experiments, Buckminster Fuller created the term tensegrity to describe "self-tensioning structures composed of rigid structures and cables, ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Beyond toughness comparisons, notched testing of composites serves additional important purposes today. In the aerospace industry, notched testing is used in the ...

Prepare for brain-exploding dark magic of the highest order, everyone, because there’s a new LEGO fad going around inspiring people to build structures that look like they belong in another dimension.

How can a structure appear to float while holding weight? Explore the revolutionary concept of Tensegrity, where continuous tension balances discontinuous compression to achieve surprising stability.
