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 ...

It is well known that the high-intensity gradients generated in a tightly focused laser beam can be used to trap and manipulate micrometre-sized particles 1. An optically trapped sphere is an elegant ...

I was recently asked a question relating to the installation of a long beam. The beam was to be lifted with one crane using a pair of slings and it had to be installed with one end lower than the ...

Last year, we looked at three potential “tractor beam” technologies being evaluated by NASA to deliver planetary or atmospheric particles to a robotic rover or orbiting spacecraft. At the time, the ...

What is Capillary Force Lithography? Capillary Force Lithography (CFL) is a versatile and cost-effective technique for patterning surfaces at the nanoscale. It leverages the capillary forces arising ...
