Wind turbines perched atop slender steel tubular towers have become a common site as the nation’s renewable energy infrastructure expands rapidly. These supporting towers, which have a diameter-to-thickness (D/t) of approximately 150 (and when taking into account how slender they are, sometimes as high as 300), are a remarkable feat of engineering. While the lightweight […]
In an OpEd piece published in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, assistant research professor Gregory Falco shares his thoughts on the SolarWinds hack and how he feels it calls for a cyber-endurance strategy from the government. “The SolarWinds hack is problematic. Troves of data are now in Russian hands, including Microsoft’s source code. That information […]
Using an award from the U.S. Department of Defense’s Defense University Research Program (DURIP), a team led by Somnath Ghosh, Michael G. Callas Chair Professor in the Department of Civil and Systems Engineering, is creating a dedicated, high-performance computing cluster aimed at enabling efficient, collaborative solutions to challenging multiphysics/multiscale problems in solids and fluids. The […]
