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 ...

An aircraft or hydrofoil wing behaves as a cantilever beam from a structural viewpoint. Structures of this sort have a "flexural center" associated with them. If they are loaded at the flexural center ...

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 ...

A new invention has proven that audio can successfully be transmitted directly to a listener's ears without being audible to others around.
