G S Ramaswamy applied physics to architecture and transformed shell roof design. His work made large structures lighter, cheaper and stronger, even as he stayed little known in India.

Thin shell structures are widely used in high-performance engineering due to their favorable strength-to-weight characteristics and capacity for distributed load-bearing. However, traditional ...

Researchers previously focused on the roles of these complex structures in resisting pressure on the shell, but new researchers provide evidence for a different hypothesis. Complex sutures, they found ...
