Hi Community,
I have this question which I have been able to partially answer.
Part 1: From samples, we measured the Flexure Modulus of a material and was asked to solve for the deflection of the material at a $1m$ span and $1kg$ which I used Maximum Deflection = \frac{wl^{3}}{48EI}
$W$ $=$...
The superposition of a gaussian beam and a plane wave generates a pattern of rings whose phase shift before and after the focal plane (of the gaussian beam) is ##\pi##. This means that if you measure interference before and after you'll see the minimums and maximums of intensity invert.
We can...
Hello everyone,
I am trying to find effect of collimated lens on gaussian beam propagation. Do you know how to solve that? I need any equations ,then going to use them via matlab.
Thanks
Can the deflection curve of the beam in picture be solved by using the following
approach:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/104865119/beam2.PNG
1) EI w''''(x) = q
2) Integrate four times, solve the constants from boundary conditions (deflection and moment zero at the supports)
Thanks...
Some nuclides undergo decay of electron capture or beta plus.
Can electron beam with appropriate energy accelerate electron capture beta decay?
Same scenario: If I am looking for something, and my friend kindly hands it over to me, then I say thanks, because my seeking time is shorten.

I am trying to solve the problem of a beam supported by three different springs with a uniform distributed load:
In mammography, an Mo anode is used because it produces characteristic X-rays at about 17-20 keV.
Apparently, the ideal filter is also Mo. Why is this? Surely all the x-rays would just be re-absorbed by the filter?
Thank you

A uniform beam of mass m is inclined at an angle θ to the horizontal. Its upper end (point P) produces a 90° bend in a very rough rope tied to a wall, and its lower end rests on a rough floor (see figure below). Let μs represent the coefficient of static friction between...

Is the moment in a continuous beam maximum when there is one point load because if you had multiple point loads they would cancel each other out since there are several pin connections along the beam?
For example, if I had a 20 kip load moving across a continuous beam and found the maximum...

Why is it that equivalent length is so important for laser beam power output (Length = Power/60) - http://www.laserk.com/newsletters/whiteCO.html. I was reading that in order to get multiple kilowatts of power out of a CO2 laser beam you have to fold the beam a great number of times. Why is...

If I consider a force, which is applied to both ends of a rectangular beam to its cross section with dimensions w (width) and h (height) and I know the length of the beam is l and the force is parallel, how can I calculate the stress?

Hi All,
I'm trying to think through a problem and was hoping to ping the community for guidance. Suppose you have a beam that's symmetric about 2 axes (like a u channel or a triangular extrusion). Is it better to load the beam in compression on the side with material furthest away or should you...
Just a quick question. We know that an accelerated electron shoots out light, and light that falls on an electron in an atom, excites it. But what happens to an electron in vaccum, when it encounters a laser beam?
If an electron beam from an electron microscope, were to to intercept a laser...
If I want to reduce the vibration of a beam fixed at one end, under a distributed load, does anyone know what this would involve? In the textbook, there is the idea of having a second system consisting of a mass-spring combination to reduce the vibration of the primary system.

There's this game called sword of the stars and one of the most interesting weapons is the meson beam. Essentially what happens is that mesons are generated and accelerated close to the speed of light so that they decay once they're inside an enemy ship, thus bypassing all defenses and creating...
