Durability and Resilence of Hyperloop Infrastructure
Abstract: ABSTRACT: The Hyperloop is a revolutionary concept for high-speed ground transportation that involves passenger pods traveling through low-pressure tubes at near-supersonic speeds. Originally proposed by SpaceX in 2013, the concept aims to offer a cost-effective and faster alternative to conventional rail systems and short-haul air travel. This study addresses a critical component of the Hyperloop's success—structural durability. Key concerns include material fatigue due to repetitive high-speed movement, pressure fluctuations within …
