Abstract: In this paper, we derive the shear coefficient K for quartz crystal of rectangular cross section in Timoshenko's beam theory of three-dimensional (3-D) elasticity. The theoretical result ...

Before delving into the specifics of rectangular beams, it's crucial to understand the fundamental concepts governing their behavior under load: A rectangular beam is characterized by its width (b) ...

The slenderness ratio of a reinforced concrete (RC) column is the ratio between the length of the column, its lateral dimensions, and end fixity. It assesses the ability of the reinforced concrete ...

Multistability has emerged as a powerful platform to design functional structures for shape change, property tuning, and multimodal actuation. Most multistable structures are constructed by connecting ...

The accurate prediction of transient thermal fields of space structures is of paramount significance for the analysis of geometrical stability and thermal management systems. This paper proposes a ...

The occurrence of fires in buildings and their consequences create the need to carry out more in-depth studies regarding the resistance of structures and their elements when subjected to high ...

Abstract The problem of symmetric cross-section beams under oblique bending is well known to professional designers and academy. In fact, symmetric elements make up most of the cross-sections defined ...

This study presents an analytical model for evaluation of the reinforced beams under simple bending based on recommendations of the Brazilian Concrete Code (NBR-6118) and a study published by the ...
