In this study, the simulation of simple bending problem is performed using an example of cantilever beam which is an important structural member. The author executed numerical simulations for simple and cracked cantilever beams using finite element stiffness method, analytical beam theory, finite element package (ANSYS) and then verified results with code generated in C++ language. In conclusio...

In this article, thermal stability of beams made of functionally graded material (FGM) is considered. The derivations of equations are based on the one-dimensional theory of elasticity. The material properties vary continuously through the thickness direction. Tanigawa's model for the variation of Poisson's ratio, the modulus of shear stress, and the coefcient of thermal expansion is considered...

A diffraction theory of continuous-wave photothermal deflection (PD) spectroscopy with fundamental and harmonic responses is presented. The displacement of the probe beam centroid is found to be a rigorous measurement of PD effect, which leads to a set of analytical solutions to the fundamental and the second-order harmonics. Harmonics are caused by the diffraction of the probe beam in the mira...

Research Board. The proposal consists of three main parts: 1) nucleon structure study via DrellYan process using a negative pion beam and transversely polarized proton target 2)nucleon structure study in exclusive positive and negative muon beam scattering off the unpolarized proton target 3)test of the chiral perturbative theory predictions via reactions of Primakoff scattering using hadron beam.

The lateral vibration of cracked isotropic thick beams is investigated. Generally, the analysis beam based on line elements can be undertaken using either Timoshenko theory or a third order (TSDT) such as Reddy theory. TSDT superior to theory, it eliminates need for shear correction coefficient. However, there no available solution which main focus this paper. investigated divided into several ...
