A new 3D simulation tool developed by ETH and SLF researchers now allows for significantly more accurate predictions of ...

3D printing has recently been combined with frozen stress techniques to create a new way of directly characterizing the 3D interior discontinuities and the full-field stress caused by man-made ...

Discontinuous Deformation Analysis (DDA), a powerful tool for simulating the mechanical behavior of rock masses and discontinuous systems, has seen remarkable progress in recent 40 years. This ...

Security surrounding Super Bowl 54 is extremely tight, but Miami-Dade Police have gone high-tech in their security training by using a highly detailed 3D-printed model of Hard Rock Stadium ...

She also uses 3D printing to create synthetic rock samples and has shown that studying their fractures can help predict the behavior of rocks in the real world. Pyrak-Nolte is a past president of the ...
