Analysis and Design of Beams for Bending

The design of prismatic beams, structural elements with a uniform cross-section, focuses on ensuring safety and structural integrity under load. The…

In the design of a supported timber beam subjected to a distributed load, both the beam's physical dimensions and the timber's…

In structural analysis, singularity functions are crucial in simplifying the representation of shear forces in beams under discontinuous loading.…

Singularity functions simplify the representation of bending moments in beams subjected to discontinuous loading, allowing the use of a single…

This article reports the pressure characteristic measurement of compressed hosiery via direct and indirect methods. In the direct method, an…

We designed a loading device that is capable of applying uniaxial or biaxial mechanical strain to a tissue engineered biocomposites fabricated for…

In terms of accurate and precise mechanical testing, machines run the continuum. Whereas commercial platforms offer excellent accuracy, they can be…
