A research team has successfully designed and tested a novel superconducting solenoid. Through the optimization of the pole ...

Data from a recent integrated ground test of the Alpha high-energy laser, its beam director telescope and the associated beam alignment and correction system have provided the team developing the ...

The cross-car beam runs behind the dashboard across the width of the vehicle and serves as a vital structural support, contributing to passenger safety and providing mounting points for airbags.

Many mechanical structures are modeled with beam elements because they can represent any material and cross section, as well as transmit axial loads, moments, and torques. "But what if a designer must ...

When used in structural engineering, the term deflection refers to load-induced displacement, which typically affects beam designs. It can be an extremely complicated value to calculate when ...

Using decking to safely stack two levels of palletized freight in a single trailer can double cargo capacity. However, some captive decking systems can get in the way of larger cargo or risk forklift ...

Composite beams have become an integral element in modern structural engineering, combining dissimilar materials to exploit their complementary mechanical properties. This field of study encompasses ...
