At a certain critical mass, the egg broke. This entire process was repeated for ten different eggs. All images were recorded on VHS video and were then later analysed using MediaGrabber. The evidence that each egg's crack originates from a different position supports the theory that the force is spread evenly over the egg's surface. Introduction Complex matters can often be broken down into simpler components to facilitate their analysis.
Architecutral structures are no exception.
Especially in dealing with biologically produced objects, this technique is of great importance. It is not surprising to learn, therefore, that curved structures are stronger than flat designs consisting of the same amount of material. In this way, stable structures can be efficiently constructed. This investigation gives further insight into the structure of egg shells. They are exceedingly interesting objects, designed to protect the yolk with immense strength and support, yet at the same time allow the imprisoned chick to deshell.
