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 ...

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 ...

Traditionally, active metasurface researches have primarily focused on changing the dielectric constant and permeability of the substrate, which frequently results in resonance effect and ohmic loss.

New research shows steel I- and T-sections inside concrete beams can offset shear loss from web openings—enhancing safety in ...
