Planetary scientists have published a detailed follow-up on the debris from their historic 2022 asteroid impact experiment in outer space. What they found challenges their understanding of the ...

In civil engineering, flexural beams are used to control the effect of vibrations that can cause cracks to appear in surfaces (concrete slabs) and beams. This is particularly important in buildings ...

The integrations needed to determine beam deflections require the enforcement of the appropriate displacement and rotation boundary conditions (BCs). It is important that we be able to recognize these ...

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 ...

Scientists continue to pore over the results of NASA’s stunningly successful DART test to deflect a harmless asteroid. As the latest findings suggest, the recoil created by the blast of debris spewing ...

The Nasa probe that struck an asteroid in September to try to deflect its path had a bigger effect because of all the debris it kicked out. The Dart mission slammed into egg-shaped Dimorphos to ...
