Scientists have demonstrated that a bent silicon crystal can bend the paths of focused, very energetic electron beams much more than magnets used today. The method could be of interest for particle ...

Abstract: The paper presents information on the digital image correlation system, a contactless measurement technique which provides data on displacements of the recorded surface of the tested object.

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 ...

The results of a study on the response of a side impact beam located in a car door to impact loading is presented. The side impact beam is situated in both the front and rear side doors of a vehicle ...

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 ...

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 ...

These optical scanners comprise two separate, perpendicular planar mirrors that rotate independently. They are positioned in a manner wherein laser light bouncing off the first mirror (axis 1) ...

A pioneering method has emerged for manipulating laser beams using sound waves alone. These days, powerful laser beams are essential in scientific research, from particle accelerators to nuclear ...
