Physicists at the University of Oxford have contributed to a new study which has found that iron-rich asteroids can tolerate ...

Abstract: In this paper, a quantitative comparison is made between straight beam and curved beam flexures for application on selectively compliant mechanisms. Following a general procedure previously ...

Abstract: In this article, two kinds of periodic nondiffractive beams along arbitrary trajectories, including nonaccelerating and self-acceleration types, are generated by 3-D-printed all-dielectric ...

Abstract The evaluation of the deflection in beams is an indispensable step of the structural design. Currently, many standard codes adopt the Branson’s model. However, the Branson’s model ...

Deflection is an important design parameter for structures subjected to service load. This paper provides an explicit expression for effective moment of inertia considering cracking, for uniformly ...
