In this video we explore bending and shear stresses in beams. A bending moment is the resultant of bending stresses, which are normal stresses acting perpendicular to the beam cross-section. We can ...

Say we consider a beam made up of thin layers (laminae) aligned with the longitudinal axis of the beam, and for which the laminae can slide with respect to each other along the longitudinal axis as ...

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 composite materials testing community is moving toward the use of the terms long beam flexure and short beam flexure when addressing sandwich panel testing. The former is used to determine ...

To enroll in the following courses, you must be admitted through the UAB Graduate School seeking a Master of Engineering (MEng) degree with a concentration in Structural Engineering (SE). The core ...
