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 ...

"Chemical rockets that we use today, even with the extra speed boost from flying by planets, or from swinging by the sun for a boost, just don't have the ability to scale to useful interstellar speeds ...

The cable-beam anchorage zone is the vital load-bearing component in suspension bridge. For maintenance of such structure, a method of probabilistic optimization was proposed by combining linear ...

A 13-page engineering report in LaTeX that derives and determines the differential equation for the equation of the deflection curve of a simply supported beam under a uniform load and maximum ...

First, the payload requirements and problems faced by traditional multi-beam antenna are described. The user beam of the VHTS payload system mainly uses Ka-band multi-beam antenna for a large range of ...

Microscope images could be obtained much more quickly -- rather than one pixel at a time -- thanks to a new imaging method for neutral atomic beam microscopes. It could ultimately lead to engineers ...

Unlike traditional spectrometric methods, which gather data based on the light a sample transmits, reflects, or emits, photothermal spectroscopy focuses on detecting the heat generated through ...

There are natural frequencies in all equipment that have components. Generally, they exist in the 8 to 200 Hz environmental spectrum. Figure 46.1 demonstrates the transmissibility and resonant ...

NASA’s Double Asteroid Redirection Test mission struck the 160-m moonlet asteroid Dimorphos (shown) in September 2022, changing its orbital period but generating a trail of debris called a surface ...
