With internal demolition temporarily undermining all but one roof support, the thin-shell, hyperbolic-paraboloid cover stands, thanks to an elaborate system of aids.

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of Tokyo are looking the 'hypar' origami for ways to leverage its structural properties.

France’s Le Corbusier used interlocking hyperbolic paraboloids to build the Philips Pavilion at last year’s Brussels Fair, produced a building that looks like wildly flapping tents frozen in ...

Hyperbolic paraboloid, made by Fabre de Lagrange, France, 1872. Formed by strings attached to two bars equally spaced, each turns on an arm perpendicular to itself and one arm swings on a pillar; ...

He was the first to use the new method of air placement to blow on thin shell concrete in constructing hyperbolic paraboloid roofs including the remodel of the First Methodist Church in 1959.

Home Science Features 11 things you didn't know about chip engineering Your average, unsullied Pringle is a hyperbolic paraboloid; its equation is (x^2)/ (a^2) - (y^2)/ (b^2) = z/c. Really.

Very strong, especially when compressed, hyperbolic paraboloids have been used by architects to create structures that don't easily buckle.

For his Santa Fe bandstand, done with Architect Mario Pani, he combined six hyperbolic paraboloids to form a 40-ft. cantilever of shelter. Candela has designed another bandstand that will soar out ...

To our knowledge, the stomatopod's saddle is the first biological hyperbolic–paraboloid spring to be described. Figure 1: The mechanics of a stomatopod strike.

Those folds combine to pull the tips of the paper in opposite directions, forming the opposing arcs of a hyperbolic paraboloid.

Here's where things get interesting, though (as if hyperbolic paraboloids weren't interesting enough). Proctor & Gamble doesn't just shove a bunch of Pringles in a can and call it a day.
