The following jupyter notebook was the final project for the introduction to numerical methods at columbia university. The project dealt with solving for beam deflection using numerical methods. In ...

Abstract: The beam deflection phenomenon of a transverse-flow discharge-excited CO/sub 2/ gas laser is studied by measuring the beam pattern with the rotating-wire method at gas velocities of 35-70 ...

When used in structural engineering, the term deflection refers to load-induced displacement, which typically affects beam designs. It can be an extremely complicated value to calculate when ...

Video deflectometer based on using off-axis digital image correlation (DIC) has emerged as a robust non-contact optical tool for deflection measurements of bridges. In practice, a video deflectometer ...
