Abstract: Beam deflections are important characteristics that can be shown by a loaded beam. Both cantilever beam and the simple beam were made of steel. The theory of deflection plays important roles in determination of modulus of elasticity because the relevant equations were applied in excel for purposes of getting the values. Engineers must understand beams from a theoretical perspective to enhance the safety of the designed structures. There are several aspects of the beams that were studied

ion beam sputtering technique can be used to successfully fabricate ferroelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT). This technique is very advantageous in that the ion beam current and voltage can be attuned which allows for the control of flux density and energy of sputtered materials. This technique also offers lower operating pressures during deposition, controllable deposition, and outstanding uniformity over larger areas, reproducibility, and localized plasma within an ion source.

Beam theories provide a means of calculating the load carrying capabilities of and the deflection characteristics of beams. The Euler-Bernoulli and Timoshenko beam theories are described and contrasted in this short essay. The Euler-Bernoulli beam theory or classical beam theory (pure bending moment) provides for analysis of cases of small deflection of a beam that is relatively long compared to beam depth in the direction of loading. The Euler-Bernoulli equation describes the relationships between
equation, the structure is indeterminate. Determinancy=Reactions-Equilibrium Statically determinate beam can be solved by the equilibrium equation consist of summation of horizontal force ∑fx=0, summation of vertical force ∑fy=0 and summation of moment ∑M at a point =0. One of the advantages of statically determinate beam is that it is easier to be analyzed. As one of the common statically simply supported beam with a pin support and a roller support, which results in three reactions- equilibrium = 0 hence
A bridge is a structure carrying a pathway, roadway or railway across the river, valley or any obstacle. The purpose is to connect two places. The 6 most common types of bridges in the world include : • Beam Bridges • Arch Bridges • Suspension Bridges • Cantilever Bridges • Truss Bridges • Cable-Stayed Bridges The designs of the bridges depend on the type of terrain they are built, the material used to construct it and the financial resources available for it. The oldest stone standing bridge in

The bridge is to be constructed between Building 5A and Building 4 in Monash University Malaysia. The client has requested an alternative beam design for the bridge as opposed to the initial truss design. This report shows an overview of the calculations, plans and methods involved in designing the overhead pedestrian bridge. Table of Contents Introduction 4 Overview of the Bridge 4 Calculating
1. Introduction In general, building design usually considers environmental or external loads that a building must have the strength to resist. These loads are gravity, wind and earthquake loads. Leading a high rise building to collapse, the key failure is the failure of transferring load from the building above the failure point to the foundation. There are numbers of reasons to cause the failure of load transfer, such as poor inspection before construction and foundation failure. In the past few
calculated directly from a set of equations as with crack width checks for RC. The transfer will govern the design, with decompression in service. It was found that eliminating small detachment of the tendons by using reinforcement in the top of the beam, resulted in savings. Another approach using strands near the top, but low enough that decompression requirement is achieved with a transfer, would limit the top stress
loads. Beam type structures are widely used in many branches of civil, mechanical and aerospace engineering. The importance of moving mass is found in several applications in the field of transportation. Railway and highway bridges, suspension bridges, guide ways, crane runways, cableways, rails, roadways, runways, tunnels and pipelines are example of structural elements to be designed to support moving masses. Also, in the design of machining processes, many members can be modeled as beams acted
five major categories, rods, beams ,columns, trusses, cable and arches .the structures are classified on the basis of how the forces i.e shear, compression, tension and bending are distributed in the members of the structures under major design loads. However any two or more of the basic structural types may be combined in a single structure, such as a building or a bridge in order to meet the structures functional requirements. Types of support structures Beam A beam is a simple design of a support
Current Research Status Traffic hazard, coupled with aging and vulnerable infrastructure, pose the potential for damage and loss of resource. Precast prestressed concrete girder bridges appeared as a mean by which more efficient designs can be achieved. They offer many advantages such as the ease of construction and a relatively high durability. The prestressed girders are usually precast of site and transported for erection before pouring composite decks. As a result, full continuity between the
• The bend length - This is the length of the bend or curve, which is measured along the twisted axis. • The bend radius - This is the separation from the curve axis to the internal surface of the material, between the twist lines. Infrequently it is indicated as the internal bend radius. The external bend radius is equivalent to the internal bend radius in addition to the thickness of the sheet of the metal. • The bend angle - This is the point of angle where the bend occurs. It is estimated
Introduction and Literature Review Context Freeform surfaces prevail in contemporary architecture. Over the past two decades there has been a surge in the use of smooth, curved surfaces, which can be attributed to improvements in 3D modelling techniques and advances in finite element analysis. The complex geometries, examples of which can be seen in the Figure ? below, pose challenges in developing a feasible building envelope using conventional building materials such as steel and concrete. This
V-beam laser treatment produces a gentle but intense burst of light that destroys the blood vessels in the area of treatment. The V-beam laser can successfully treat the following skin conditions: • Acne • Facial, chest and neck redness • Face veins (telangiectasias) • Rosacea • Hemangiomas (small and large red bumps or growths) • Scars • Vascular lesions • Red birth marks (port wine stains) Working of V beam laser: The V beam laser utilizes an intense light burst that targets the blood
C16) are the key elements of the roof structure. The community court consists of nine trusses (T1 to T9) and out of these nine, five trusses were supported by the spine truss (T10) and the remaining trusses are supported by the framework of steel beams. These spine trusses supports an area of half of the event courts and one quarter half of the community courts2. The entire roof comprised of 0.55mm thick profiled metal sheet cladding supported on the cold formed steel purlins with two lines of purlin
Basically, windows and doors consist of two main components; frame and shutter. Frame is a structure composed of horizontal and vertical members which form an enclosure where shutters are fixed. Shutters can be defined as an openable part of door and window. Window is an essential element in building. It can be define as an opening in a wall that allow the flow of air and light into the building. This will help to ventilate the building naturally, thus maximizing the thermal comfort even without

A standard dump truck is a truck chassis with a dump body mounted to the frame. The bed is raised by a hydraulic ram mounted under the front of the dumper body between the frames, and the back of the bed is hinged at the back to the truck. The tailgate can be configured to swing on hinges or it can be configured in the "High Lift Tailgate" format wherein pneumatic rams lift the

Chapter-2 LITERATURE REVIEW Concrete behaves as a back bone to nations building team. Concrete is a composite construction material composed primarily of aggregate, cement, and water. There are many formulations, which provide varied properties. But one of the disadvantages with the conventional concrete is high self weight of concrete. This heavy weight will make it some extent uneconomical structural material. Many attempts made in the past to reduce the self weight to increase the efficiency
