Planetary defence research often sits between modelling and imagination, with few chances to test real materials under realistic conditions. A new stu.

"The world must be able to execute a nuclear deflection mission with high confidence, yet cannot conduct a real-world test in ...

Abstract: The paper presents information on the digital image correlation system, a contactless measurement technique which provides data on displacements of the recorded surface of the tested object.

For each of these 160 researchers, the Niels Bohr Library & Archives will forever be connected to them, in a footnote at ...

Physicists at the University of Oxford have contributed to a new study which has found that iron-rich asteroids can tolerate far more energy than previously thought without breaking apart—a ...

Euler-Bernoulli (EB) and Timoshenko-Ehrenfest (TE) theories model simple beams under linear constraints. But even keeping these constraints, specific structural effects in real applications compromise ...

While working on validation examples for a material model, I encountered a behaviour I was not expecting. The setup involves a beam aligned with the x-axis that gets deflected in the y-direction due ...

In this video I take a look at five methods that can be used to predict how a beam will deform when loads are applied to it. These are the double integration method, Macaulay's method, the principle ...

CompoTech PLUS (Sušice, Czech Republic) uses its proprietary advanced fiber laying (AFL) and winding technologies to replace steel and aluminum with lightweight carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) ...
