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 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 ...

Getting a spacecraft to another star is a monumental challenge. However, that doesn't stop people from working on it. The ...

While not currently important in mainstream quantum computing models, silicon’s indispensable role in the semiconductor industry has a unique opportunity. The vast, ...
