beam cross-section
41Electron beam tomography — (EBT) is a specific form of computed axial tomography (CAT or CT) in which the X ray tube is not mechanically spun in order to rotate the source of X ray photons. This different design was explicitly developed to better image heart structures… …
42Bending — For other uses, see Bending (disambiguation). Flexure redirects here. For joints that bend, see living hinge. For bearings that operate by bending, see flexure bearing. Continuum mechanics …
43Second moment of area — The second moment of area, also known as the area moment of inertia or second moment of inertia, is a property of a shape that is used to predict its resistance to bending and deflection which are directly proportional. This is why beams with… …
44Instability — [ Hydrodynamics simulation of the Rayleigh–Taylor instability [Shengtai Li, Hui Li Parallel AMR Code for Compressible MHD or HD Equations (Los Alamos National Laboratory) [http://math.lanl.gov/Research/Highlights/amrmhd.shtml] ] ] Instability in… …
45Wireless energy transfer — or wireless power is the transmission of electrical energy from a power source to an electrical load without artificial interconnecting conductors. Wireless transmission is useful in cases where interconnecting wires are inconvenient, hazardous,… …
46Gain (lasers) — Gain (or amplification) in laser physics is a process, where the medium transfers part of its energy to the emitted electromagnetic radiation, resulting in an increase in laser power. This is basic principle of all lasers.Quantitatively, the… …
47Girder — For the DC Comics character with this name, see Girder (comics). The ceiling of Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana, was constructed of large trusses built of riveted girders. A girder is a support beam used in construction. Girders often… …
48Richard Schreder — Born 25 September 1915 Tecumseh, Michigan Died 2 August 2002 Bryan, Ohio Occupation Aircraft Engineer Spouse Angelike Schreder Awards …
49Bending stiffness — The bending stiffness E I of a beam (or a plate) relates the applied bending moment to the resulting deflection of the beam. It is the product of the elastic modulus E of the beam material and the area moment of inertia I of the beam cross… …
50Blade — For other uses, see Blade (disambiguation). Knife blades A blade is that portion of a tool, weapon, or machine with a cutting edge and/or a pointed tip that is designed to cut and/or puncture, stab, slash, chop, slice, thrust, or scrape animate… …
