Researchers have developed an automated framework that converts terrestrial laser scans into parametric 3D models of reinforced concrete beams, quantifying deflection and spalling with ...

Scientists have demonstrated that a bent silicon crystal can bend the paths of focused, very energetic electron beams much more than magnets used today. The method could be of interest for particle ...

In Chapters 9, 10 and 11 we investigated the strength of beams in terms of the stresses produced by the action of bending, shear and torsion, respectively. An associated problem is the determination ...

A beam is any long structural member on which loads act perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The bookshelf in Figure 6.1a can be modeled as a beam because the length is much greater than its width ...

The integrations needed to determine beam deflections require the enforcement of the appropriate displacement and rotation boundary conditions (BCs). It is important that we be able to recognize these ...

Self-accelerating beams—shape-preserving bending beams—are attracting great interest, offering applications in many areas such as particle micromanipulation, microscopy, induction of plasma channels, ...

Say we consider a beam made up of thin layers (laminae) aligned with the longitudinal axis of the beam, and for which the laminae can slide with respect to each other along the longitudinal axis as ...

A pioneering method has emerged for manipulating laser beams using sound waves alone. These days, powerful laser beams are essential in scientific research, from particle accelerators to nuclear ...
