Fractals exhibit self-similarity, meaning their inner structure has the same pattern as their outer structure (like a pine cone or a fern tree). Just as fractality describes the geometry of waves of energy or charge, fractals manifest as wave patterns that evolve ad infinitum – like an ...

The key is the design of the hull that protects the vessel against the large external water pressure that is trying to crush the hull. Much of the existing technology is based on steel, titanium and aluminum. The performance of these materials under extreme stress is well understoo...
They can still borrow, and they can still get more credit cards, but now under the terms of being subprime. So banks take risks on credit cards because credit cards are immensely profitable. Until they’re not. Credit cards – unlike auto loans or mortgages – are unsecured loans. And rec...
Buckling can occur due to the inherent anisotropy and heterogeneity of composite materials (meaning that they depend on ply layup and orientation), making them susceptible to instability under compressive loads. The critical buckling pressure of a composite structure depends on its geometric parameters,...
