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 ...

As the name implies, the Short Beam Shear test subjects a beam to bending, just as flexural testing methods do, but the beam is very short relative to its thickness. For example, ASTM D 2344 1 ...

The diverse applications of laser beam sources require control of all properties of the light: from the wavelength spectrum to the temporal behavior to the spatial form. Structured light, i.e., light ...
