The area moment of inertia (also called the second moment of area) defines the resistance of a cross-section to bending, due to the shape of the cross-section. It is a key parameter for the analysis ...

Dive deep into the fascinating world of beam deflection, a critical concept for engineers designing structural elements. When a load is applied to a beam, understanding how much it will bend or ...

Atomic beams conjure fantasies of gigantic Space Force canons. But there are real tiny atomic beams that shoot out of newly engineered collimators, a kind of tiny silicon peashooter, that could ...
