Electromagnetic scattering and beam theory form the bedrock of modern optics by elucidating the interaction between electromagnetic waves and matter. This field encompasses the study of how various ...

A direct asymptotic integration of the full three-dimensional problem of elasticity is employed to derive a consistent governing equation for a beam with the rectangular cross section. The governing ...

The transverse load P will produce a shear force V in the positive y direction on a mathematical cut through the beam at point “a”. This shear force is directly responsible for the shear stress τ on ...
