Strength of Rock-Like Specimens with Pre-existing Cracks of Different Length and Width [PDF]
, 2016 Discontinuities play a key role in the failure process of rock and rock mass. Small fractures can decrease the strength of rock while large-scaled joints can have a significant effect on the overall stability of rock mass (Eberhardt et al.

Collision‐Resilient Winged Drones Enabled by Tensegrity Structures
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.Based on structures of birds such as the woodpeck, this article presents the collision‐resilient aerial robot, SWIFT. SWIFT leverages tensegrity structures in the fuselage and wings which allow it to undergo large deformations in a crash, without sustaining damage. Experiments show that SWIFT can reduce impact forces by 70% over conventional structures.
