Dynamic loading due to pulsation is a critical consideration in piping systems connected to reciprocating machinery, such as ...

Travis Gettys is a senior editor for Raw Story based in northern Kentucky. He previously worked as a web editor for WLWT-TV and a contributing writer for the Kentucky Enquirer, and he also wrote for ...

Abstract: Inflated-beam soft robots, such as tip-everting vine robots, can control curvature by contracting one beam side via pneumatic actuation. This work develops a general finite element modeling ...

Axially-functionally graded materials are/ types of traditional composite materials in which the mechanical and physical properties are gradually varied from one end to the other. They were used ...

In this video I take a look at five methods that can be used to predict how a beam will deform when loads are applied to it. These are the double integration method, Macaulay's method, the principle ...

The rapid adoption of 3D integrated circuits (ICs) and heterogeneous packaging heralds a new era in semiconductor design. Benefits are clear: greater functional density, reduced footprint, and ...

For decades, workplace stress was viewed primarily as an individual concern to be managed by HR—often through wellness programs or stress management workshops—rather than as a systemic, ...

School of Mechanical Engineering, National Technical University of Athens, Athens, Greece. A Google Scholar search for the term “Timoshenko beam” currently yields approximately 127,000 results—an ...

Researchers studying laser-driven proton acceleration introduced an innovative, self-replenishing water sheet target to address the inefficiency of replacing targets after each laser pulse. The target ...

The construction of concrete-filled steel tube tied-arch bridges typically employs the “beam first and arch later” methodology. In this approach, tie beams are initially constructed on temporary ...
