TL;DR: The study shows for the first time that AM of porous Mg may provide distinct possibilities to adjust biodegradation profile through topological design and open up unprecedented opportunities to develop multifunctional bone substituting materials that mimic bone properties and enable full regeneration of critical-size load-bearing bony defects.

TL;DR: Hybrid composite pyramidal truss sandwich panels combined with multiple damping configurations are fabricated in this article to investigate the damping and stiffness efficiency of the candidate structures, and experimental results show that such structures combined with damping materials would significantly improve damping loss efficiency but decrease simultaneously the stiffness efficiency in varying degrees compared with the bare hybrid sandwich panels.

TL;DR: The next generation magnetic spectrometer in space, AMS-100, is designed to have a geometrical acceptance of 100 m2 sr and to be operated for at least ten years at the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 2.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of imperfections on the load carrying capacity of shell structures is considered by reducing theoretical buckling loads with empirical knock down factors, which may lead to a conservative estimate of the load-carrying capacity since a worst case scenario is considered.

TL;DR: In this article, a composite auxetic double-arrow corrugated sandwich panels (DACSPs) are analyzed based on energy method and 3D finite element (FE) models combined with Modal Strain Energy (MSE) approach are developed to investigate their vibration and damping characteristics.
