Asteroid impacts with global consequences are vastly rarer, especially compared to the frequency with which they appear in the movies. But popular portrayals do carry a grain of truth: in case of an ...

NASA’s DART mission, the first-ever planetary defense test in space, sent a spacecraft to ...

Euler-Bernoulli (EB) and Timoshenko-Ehrenfest (TE) theories model simple beams under linear constraints. But even keeping these constraints, specific structural effects in real applications compromise ...

A detailed technical examination of the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, exploring its structure, wing design, turbo-supercharging ...

This paper investigates the effect of KFRP composite sheets as a strengthening material in improving the load-carrying resistance of lightweight foam concrete beams using a FEA modelling framework.

Abstract: As a type of beam steering element, the Risley prism has found extensive applications in the field of optics. A single Risley prism can deflect incident light beams with a constant deviation ...

Abstract: In this article, a 2-bit reconfigurable reflective metasurface (RRM) with multifunction for both far-field pattern and polarization performance is proposed. To facilitate the independent ...

Tensile membrane action (TMA) could significantly enhance the ultimate bearing capacity of reinforced concrete (RC) simply supported slabs under fire conditions. To address this, this paper proposes ...
