This paper sheds more light on the co-rotational element formulation for beams with uniform cross-section. The co-rotational elements are commonly used in problems in which a structure undergoes a large deformation. In this study, the foregoing element obeys the Euler-Bernoulli beam assumptions. Unlike the formulations presented in the literature, in this paper, a number of local nodal coordina...

Abstract The performance of particle colliders is usually quantified by the beam energy and the luminosity. We derive the expressions for the luminosity in case of bunched beams in terms of the beam parameters and the geometry. The implications of additional features such as crossing angle, offsets and hourglass effect on the luminosity are calculated. Important operational aspects like integra...

Introduction: Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was introduced and became more common based on its low cost, fast image procedure rate and low radiation dose compared to CT. This imaging modality improved diagnostic and treatment-planning procedures by providing three-dimensional information with greatly reduced level of radiation dose compared to 2D dental imaging modalitie...

Laser-based processing techniques have proven to be an effective option of modifying polymer surfaces. In this context Direct Laser Interference Patterning in conjunction with the polygon scanner technique is used fabricate textured polystyrene surfaces through ultra-fast beam deflection. This achieved by using a high-average power picosecond laser combination mirror-based scanning system. The ...

The interactive behaviors between transverse magnetic fields and axial loads of a magnetoelastic ME beam subjected to general boundary conditions are investigated. In particular, the instability criterion for the magneto-mechanical buckling problem is intricately discussed based on the structure characteristics and the initial conditions. The equation of motion for the proposed physical model i...
