Getting the air out is key to Humvee Safety
for fuel economy both rising, a successful Army-tested NPT could make its way to the private sector faster than we think. The honeycomb structure of Resilient Technologies' nonpneumatic tire is formed in molds. The company designed the materials and structure in partnership with the UW-Madison Polymer

A better way to design high-performance structures
. The software unifies design, manufacturing, and analysis based on classical, empirical, and FEA methods. It comprehensively and quickly produces a design along with production plans for the structure. Shell structures designed by the software can be isogrid, waffle, monocoque, sandwich, honeycomb, or ring

Sustainable Engineering: Sustainable-Packaging Practices Can cut Costs
directly impacts choices in secondary packaging. Rigid packaging for liquids, for example, requires less secondary packaging than do flexible packages. Packagers mentioned a long list of alternative materials, including the cornbased bioplastic polylactic acid (PLA); Hexacomb, a honeycomb product

The little batteries that could
electrodes that deliver the charge and an electrolyte through which charged ions move. The new manufacturing process starts with placing an aluminum sheet in an acid solution under an electric current, which creates an aluminum-oxide membrane. When the metal dissolves, a honeycomb structure appears

Coreless DC Motors
cylindrical coil wound of copper wire and located in the center of the stator. A mechanical time constant of 1 msec is not unusual for this type of motor. Rotors are typically wound in a skewed or honeycomb pattern (also known as Faulhaber winding) to ensure that all of the core helps produce torque

Intricate parts from the inside out
internal geometries including hollow or honeycomb interiors. These parts are lighter than their solid counterparts, but still strong enough for application needs. In addition, the process turns titanium powders into a wide variety of end products. Titanium's high strength-to-weight ratio makes
