This course presents the fundamental principles of structural analysis, determination of reactions, internal forces and deflections under the static load conditions. The course is mainly focused to ...

The integrations needed to determine beam deflections require the enforcement of the appropriate displacement and rotation boundary conditions (BCs). It is important that we be able to recognize these ...

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 ...

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 ...

Although a durometer is the standard measuring tool for material hardness, CFD offers a better measurement for foam materials to determine the resistance to compression under load. To measure, the ...

Innovacorp is investing $2 million in a Dartmouth company that's developing a product that deflects laser beams aimed at aircraft. Metamaterial Technologies Inc. will use the money to tailor its ...
