The transverse load P will produce a shear force V in the positive y direction on a mathematical cut through the beam at point “a”. This shear force is directly responsible for the shear stress τ on ...

This course presents the fundamental principles of structural analysis, determination of reactions, internal forces and deflections under the static load conditions. The course is mainly focused to ...

Suspended structures in silicon-on-insulator (SOI) microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) are critical components for sensing and actuation. However, undesired deformation in these structures ...

Shaping and steering of light beams is essential in many modern applications, ranging from optical tweezers, camera lenses, vision correction to 3D displays. However, current realisations require ...
