Lindsey Ellefson is Lifehacker’s Features Editor. She currently covers study and productivity hacks, as well as household and digital decluttering, and oversees the freelancers on the sex and ...

A new study demonstrates how near-surface-mounted (NSM) reinforcement can effectively mitigate the shear loss caused by vertical holes in concrete beams, providing safer and more flexible design ...

This work presents an interactive graphics computational tool for the verification of prestressed concrete beams with post-tensioned bonded tendons to the serviceability limit state (SLS) stress check ...

Abstract: To address the failure of strain–displacement decoupling in the existing inverse finite element method (iFEM) framework for dynamically evolving curved structures, this study proposes a ...

Standard optical microscopes can’t see objects smaller than half the wavelength of visible light. To get around this, scientists use a technique called scattering-type scanning near-field optical ...

In this video I take a look at five methods that can be used to predict how a beam will deform when loads are applied to it. These are the double integration method, Macaulay's method, the principle ...

A research team led by Associate Prof. Wang Anting from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) proposed a method for multidimensional ...

I've noticed that the induced superposition generated by TM-align does not perform well when a flexible linker is present between two domains. For example, in the superposition of two terminase ...

Tensegrity structures are geometric nonlinear systems and statically and kinematically indeterminate structures that require an initial shape-finding procedure to establish a self-equilibrium state.

Abstract: This letter proposed an algorithm utilizing the continuous phase superposition method to efficiently code multibeam 1-bit programable metasurface array. This method enables rapid metasurface ...
