- Title
Advanced materials are a game changer in the winter olympics.
- Authors
Robinson, Lynne
- Abstract
The article focuses on the capabilities of the metals commonly used in winter games. It cites the role of the hull and chasis materials in the mechanical dissipation of energy in the bobsled. During every competition, it suggests that the runners should be constructed from a prescribed source, including those which even cause a local variation of the physical characteristics of the composition of the material.
