Beam deflection is an essential consideration in engineering and construction projects. It refers to the amount a beam deforms or bends under the influence of external forces. Accurate calculation of ...

Deflection refers to the degree that a structural element is displaced under a load. It is an essential aspect of engineering and construction, allowing designers to ensure that structures can safely ...

Abstract: This work proposes a simple configuration of a fiber optic sensor (FOS) used to measure deflection in concrete beams. This FOS includes pulleys with a groove to generate a constant drastic ...

Euler-Bernoulli (EB) and Timoshenko-Ehrenfest (TE) theories model simple beams under linear constraints. But even keeping these constraints, specific structural effects in real applications compromise ...
