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 ...

Large deflection analysis of cantilever beams addresses the behaviour of slender structural elements when subjected to forces that induce displacements comparable to their own length. Under such ...

As if last year’s fabulous Dual Asteroid Redirection Test firing a satellite bullet into an asteroid wasn’t enough, now researchers are doing detailed simulation of the nuclear deflection scenario ...

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 ...

Blue Origin has developed an asteroid deflection mission concept based on its Blue Ring Platform. The spacecraft can attempt to deflect an asteroid with ion-beams as well as a kinetic impact.
