In recent research, engineers at the University of Colorado of Boulder and Sandia National Laboratories have developed a new design for padding that can withstand big impacts. The team’s innovations, which can be printed on commercially available 3D printers, could one day wind up in everything from shipping crates to football pads—anything that helps to protect fragile objects, or bodies, from the bumps of life.
In a new study, engineers from the United States and Korea — including Jianliang Xiao of Rady Mechanical Engineering — have developed a wearable, stretchy patch that could help to bridge the divide between people and machines, with benefits for the health of humans around the world.
Logan Thompson (MechEngr'17), took seven years to get through undergrad. He said he's grateful for the variety of experiences he's had.
In an article in the Conversation, Nathalie Vriend, a skier and mechanical engineer at the University of Colorado Boulder who studies avalanches, explains what happens in the snowpack when an avalanche begins.
