A team at Lehigh University, led by MechE professor Keith W. Moored, examined the fluid mechanics of cetacean propulsion. They developed a model to quantitatively predict how the motions of the fin should be tailored to its shape to maximize its efficiency. Their findings may be extremely influential in the design […]
Ling Li, assistant professor of mechanical engineering from the College of Engineering at Virginia Tech, developed an armor based on the scales of mollusks. These scales developed to provide both flexibility and protection. Dr. Li and his team fabricated a synthetic flexible scaled armor analog using parametric computational modeling and multi-material […]
