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 ...

Abstract: Accurate characterization of surfaces using cantilever-based optical beam deflection (OBD) systems is crucial for obtaining the sample’s “true” topography and its corresponding material ...

While working on validation examples for a material model, I encountered a behaviour I was not expecting. The setup involves a beam aligned with the x-axis that gets deflected in the y-direction due ...

In this video I take a look at five methods that can be used to predict how a beam will deform when loads are applied to it. These are the double integration method, Macaulay's method, the principle ...

A 13-page engineering report in LaTeX that derives and determines the differential equation for the equation of the deflection curve of a simply supported beam under a uniform load and maximum ...

Abstract: Position measurement methods based on optical beam deflection (OBD) require sensing of the displacement of a cantilever's tip. When the cantilever is scanned over a surface, the tip is ...

NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test mission struck the 160-m moonlet asteroid Dimorphos (shown) in September 2022, changing its orbital period but generating a trail of debris called a surface ...

All complex and intricate assemblies include components with natural frequencies that are critical because they exist in the generalized 8 to 200 Hz environmental spectrum. This can be demonstrated by ...
