In civil engineering, flexural beams are used to control the effect of vibrations that can cause cracks to appear in surfaces (concrete slabs) and beams. This is particularly important in buildings ...

When used in structural engineering, the term deflection refers to load-induced displacement, which typically affects beam designs. It can be an extremely complicated value to calculate when ...

The deflection of a concrete beam was measured using various sensors, and the resulting data were used in this article to assess the machine learning models. Support Vector Regression (SVR), Random ...

The integration of web openings in reinforced concrete (RC) beams for building services severely compromises shear capacity by disrupting load paths and creating critical stress concentrations. While ...

Say we consider a beam made up of thin layers (laminae) aligned with the longitudinal axis of the beam, and for which the laminae can slide with respect to each other along the longitudinal axis as ...
