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 ...

Built on UHV Design’s Production Linear Shift Mechanism range (PLSM), new linear actuator allows heavy objects to be moved very smoothly, says UHV Design engineering director Jonty Eyres High ...

When a 'beam' experiences a bending moment it will change its shape and internal stresses (forces) will be developed. The photograph illustrates the shape change of elements of a beam in bending. Note ...

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

A little late and again from the spectacular website of Gary Martin. Definition: Hard-up – in a bad situation. Origin: The beams are the horizontal transverse timbers of ships. This nautical phrase ...

The transverse load P will produce a shear force V in the positive y direction on a mathematical cut through the beam at point “a”. This shear force is directly responsible for the shear stress τ on ...
