Abstract: This work presents the design and modeling of micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) accelerometer with curved beams as the suspension springs. Initially, we explore the mechanics of curved ...

The results of finite element analysis of reinforced concrete Vierendeel sandwich plates (RCVSP) using beam-plate elements calculation model show a significant discrepancy with the actual results.

FE software packages for modeling mechanical structures formulate model elements and nodes differently, but often arrive at very similar results FEA software has converged on three types of elements.

If you shine a beam of light from a laser or flashlight, the beam will spread out over distance, becoming wider and less intense far from the source. That phenomenon is called diffraction, and it is ...
