Alison Gibbings and Massimiliano Vasile, aerospace engineers at the University of Strathclyde, UK, new solution is a 500-kilogram swarm of fingernail-sized spacecraft would, they calculate, deflect a ...
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 ...
