Abstract

The Tacoma Narrows Bridge is perhaps the most famous example of a bridge that collapsed unexpectedly in response to external forces. But new “wave bypass” technology – similar to that underpinning invisibility cloaks – could help avoid such disasters, as Michele Brun, Alexander Movchan, Ian Jones and Ross McPhedran explain.
