Axially-functionally graded materials are/ types of traditional composite materials in which the mechanical and physical properties are gradually varied from one end to the other. They were used ...

Abstract: In railway freight transport of over-size cargos, elastic deflection of overloaded structures is the main cause of train-line collision in running. Deflection monitoring remains a challenge ...

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 ...
