| Lifestyle improvement depends on how living spaces are created and used. Future needs in society include maximum utilization of spaces above and below the earth’s surface including the ocean (e.g., supertall skyscrapers, very deep underground structures, very large offshore structures, etc.), novel transportation systems (e.g., superfast aircrafts, super high-speed rails, environment-adaptive automobiles, etc.), and more environment-friendly energy. This requires the development of novel structures and manufacturing methods. Such structures and their associated functions must be tough. The toughness of massive structures depends not only on the structural design and materials but also the manufacturing process, especially how materials are joined. Our goal is to create novel structures. Thus, we study the potential of materials to realize innovative structures, the optimization of product structures from a manufacturing perspective, and development of materials to maximize their potential in the product structures. The two keywords in our research are joints and process mechanics. |
