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 ...

The TruBend 3000 bending machine series from Trumpf reduces throughput time by around 40 percent compared to the previous 3000 series machines. Depending on the machine type, the new TruBend 3000 will ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

When a 'beam' experiences a bending moment it will change its shape and internal stresses (forces) will be developed. The photograph illustrates the shape change of elements of a beam in bending. Note ...

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 ...

In civil engineering, flexural beams are used to control the effect of vibrations that can cause cracks to appear in surfaces (concrete slabs) and beams. This is particularly important in buildings ...

Wessling, Germany, 2015-11-18 – RAYLASE enables new opportunities of material processing with lasers: The new deflection unit AXIALSCAN-50HP DIGITAL offers large field processing in X, Y, and Z ...
