The Hyperloop is a concept for a high-speed transportation system being developed by Elon Musk, in which pressurized capsules ride on a magnetized track on an air cushion through reduced-pressure tubes driven by linear induction motors and air compressors.
Designing materials that better respond to dynamic loading can help vehicles minimize vibration, better protect military convoys, or potentially make buildings safer during an earthquake.
