In this paper, a new hybrid approach is presented based on the combination of the power series expansions and the Rayleigh-Ritz method for stability and free vibration analyses of axially functionally ...

In the present paper, a simplified homogenized beam theory is used in the context of a numerical investigation regarding the dynamic behavior of a rotating composite hollow shaft. For this aim, a ...

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) have developed a method which gives access to the valuable raw materials formate and hydrogen from the waste product glycerol. Formates are the ...

In response to the frequent occurrence of coal face spalling affecting the working face production during the mining of extra-thick hard coal seams, this study investigates the characteristics of ...

Pile caps play a crucial role in transferring structural loads to deep foundations, ensuring stability and durability. Traditionally, engineers have relied on Beam Theory to design pile caps, but the ...

This newsletter delves into the application of the Rayleigh-Ritz method for solving structural engineering problems, specifically focusing on a simply supported beam subjected to a uniformly ...

"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 ...

In offshore structures, submarines, and aerial boats, the cylinder shells of functionally classed materials are essential architectural elements. A cylindrical shell is a section between two cylinders ...

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 ...

A close-up of the magnetic encoding device before it was attached. The atomic beam enters the device through the hollow white ceramic tube shown. Microscope images could be obtained much more quickly ...

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to investigate a direct numerical method for solving a class of a fractional variational problem (FVP). The fractional derivative in the FVP is in the Caputo sense.
