  2. I-beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-beam

    This observation is the basis of the I-beam cross-section; the neutral axis runs along the center of the web which can be relatively thin and most of the material can be concentrated in the flanges. The ideal beam is the one with the least cross-sectional area (and hence requiring the least material) needed to achieve a given section modulus.

  3. Beam (nautical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_(nautical)

    Graphical representation of the dimensions used to describe a ship. Dimension "b" is the beam at waterline.. The beam of a ship is its width at its widest point. The maximum beam (B MAX) is the distance between planes passing through the outer sides of the ship, beam of the hull (B H) only includes permanently fixed parts of the hull, and beam at waterline (B WL) is the maximum width where the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_measurements

    Grain Cube (or Grain Capacity) – The maximum space available for cargo measured in cubic metres or feet, the measurement being taken to the inside of the shell plating of the ship or to the outside of the frames and to the top of the beam or underside of the deck plating. It is a measurement of capacity for cargoes such as grain, where the ...

  5. Gaussian beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaussian_beam

    When a Gaussian beam is refocused by an ideal lens, a new Gaussian beam is produced. The electric and magnetic field amplitude profiles along a circular Gaussian beam of a given wavelength and polarization are determined by two parameters: the waist w 0 , which is a measure of the width of the beam at its narrowest point, and the position z ...

  6. M squared - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M_squared

    In laser science, the parameter M 2, also known as the beam propagation ratio or beam quality factor is a measure of laser beam quality. It represents the degree of variation of a beam from an ideal Gaussian beam. [1] It is calculated from the ratio of the beam parameter product (BPP) of the beam to that of a Gaussian beam with the same wavelength.

  7. Beam diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_diameter

    6) defines the beam diameter as the distance between diametrically opposed points in that cross-section of a beam where the power per unit area is 1/e (0.368) times that of the peak power per unit area. This is the beam diameter definition that is used for computing the maximum permissible exposure to a laser beam.

    With three weeks left in the 2024 NFL regular season, it seems likely that at least a few records will be broken. Keep an eye on these marks.

  9. Deflection (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflection_(engineering)

    Deflection (f) in engineering. In structural engineering, deflection is the degree to which a part of a long structural element (such as beam) is deformed laterally (in the direction transverse to its longitudinal axis) under a load.
