Researchers at Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have demonstrated an innovative method to control magnetism in materials using an energy-efficient electric field. The discovery focuses on materials known ...

When used in structural engineering, the term deflection refers to load-induced displacement, which typically affects beam designs. It can be an extremely complicated value to calculate when ...

• Calculate the deflections in stepped shafts more quickly and accurately by combining engineering knowledge with mathematics software. • Use Castigliano’s theorem and the Heavyside step function help ...

Bearing deflection or yield is elastic deformation occurring between balls and raceways because of external loads. Deflection increases nonlinearly as external load increases. To increase bearing ...

After years of shooting meteorites with a special gun owned by NASA, researchers highlighted challenges for a preferred method of planetary defense. By Katherine Kornei There’s probably a large space ...

“I always use flaps for climb. I get more lift that way.” Some would call this statement perfectly logical, because flaps do increase lift and increased lift certainly ought to make an airplane climb ...

Several years ago, I went to the Saddle Ranch on Sunset Boulevard and decided it would be a great idea to ride the mechanical bull. Winston Source: Image by Nancy Wong on Wikimedia Commons Once I ...

Pointing a finger at the other is a curious and persistent defense mechanism for the guilty. We try to teach our kids not to tattle, but also to be true to themselves. But sometimes the tattling is a ...
