Cross-section observation of a specimen using SEM can produce detailed information vital for research and development as well as for failure analysis. Generally, surface observation alone is incapable ...

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 ...

The Contact stress and area problems set up like this. Picking calculation produces the outputs shown. Beam-section properties pop up with either of the beam modules, or can be accessed on its own.

Engineers' specific questions and concerns regarding the performance of the anchorage of the steel sections to the core walls prompted the most recent tests. The next round will investigate reducing ...

Laser powder bed fusion (LBPF), a 3D printing technique commonly used to make metal parts, creates large thermal gradients between areas hit by the laser and areas not being struck. This creates pools ...

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 ...
