57-400: The structural element is assumed to be such that at least one of its dimensions is a small fraction, typically 1/10 or less, of the other two. When the length is considerably longer than the width and the thickness, the element is called a beam . For example, a closet rod sagging under the weight of clothes on clothes hangers is an example of a beam experiencing bending. On the other hand,

114-523: A network comprising different types of computers, potentially with vastly differing memory sizes, processing power and even basic underlying architecture. In algebra, homogeneous polynomials have the same number of factors of a given kind. In the study of binary relations , a homogeneous relation R is on a single set ( R ⊆ X × X ) while a heterogeneous relation concerns possibly distinct sets ( R ⊆ X × Y ,   X = Y or X ≠ Y ). In statistical meta-analysis , study heterogeneity

171-464: A shell is a structure of any geometric form where the length and the width are of the same order of magnitude but the thickness of the structure (known as the 'wall') is considerably smaller. A large diameter, but thin-walled, short tube supported at its ends and loaded laterally is an example of a shell experiencing bending. In the absence of a qualifier, the term bending is ambiguous because bending can occur locally in all objects. Therefore, to make

228-469: A beam experiencing bending. The stress distribution in a beam can be predicted quite accurately when some simplifying assumptions are used. In the Euler–Bernoulli theory of slender beams, a major assumption is that 'plane sections remain plane'. In other words, any deformation due to shear across the section is not accounted for (no shear deformation). Also, this linear distribution is only applicable if

285-401: A big number of different terms for environmental heterogeneity, often undefined or conflicting in their meaning. Habitat diversity and habitat heterogeneity are a synonyms of environmental heterogeneity. In chemistry , a heterogeneous mixture consists of either or both of 1) multiple states of matter or 2) hydrophilic and hydrophobic substances in one mixture; an example of

342-443: A combination of wood and metal such as a flitch beam . Beams primarily carry vertical gravitational forces , but they are also used to carry horizontal loads such as those due to earthquake or wind, or in tension to resist rafter thrust ( tie beam ) or compression ( collar beam ). The loads carried by a beam are transferred to columns , walls , or girders , then to adjacent structural compression members , and eventually to

399-429: A discontinuity at the neutral axis where the stress changes from tensile to compressive. This plastic hinge state is typically used as a limit state in the design of steel structures. The equation above is only valid if the cross-section is symmetrical. For homogeneous beams with asymmetrical sections, the maximum bending stress in the beam is given by where y , z {\displaystyle y,z} are

456-473: A heterogeneous substance in many aspects; for instance, rocks (geology) are inherently heterogeneous, usually occurring at the micro-scale and mini-scale. In formal semantics , homogeneity is the phenomenon in which plural expressions imply "all" when asserted but "none" when negated . For example, the English sentence "Robin read the books" means that Robin read all the books, while "Robin didn't read

513-429: A horizontal beam supported at the ends and loaded downwards in the middle, the material at the over-side of the beam is compressed while the material at the underside is stretched. There are two forms of internal stresses caused by lateral loads: These last two forces form a couple or moment as they are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. This bending moment resists the sagging deformation characteristic of

570-491: A load as it does not use the full capacity of the beam until it is on the brink of collapse. Wide-flange beams ( Ɪ-beams ) and truss girders effectively address this inefficiency as they minimize the amount of material in this under-stressed region. The classic formula for determining the bending stress in a beam under simple bending is: where The equation σ = M y I x {\displaystyle \sigma ={\tfrac {My}{I_{x}}}}

627-627: A smaller scale. This is known as an effective medium approximation . Various disciplines understand heterogeneity , or being heterogeneous , in different ways. Environmental heterogeneity (EH) is a hypernym for different environmental factors that contribute to the diversity of species, like climate, topography, and land cover. Biodiversity is correlated with geodiversity on a global scale. Heterogeneity in geodiversity features and environmental variables are indicators of environmental heterogeneity. They drive biodiversity at local and regional scales. Scientific literature in ecology contains

741-544: Is a mixture of two or more compounds . Examples are: mixtures of sand and water or sand and iron filings, a conglomerate rock, water and oil, a salad, trail mix , and concrete (not cement). A mixture can be determined to be homogeneous when everything is settled and equal, and the liquid, gas, the object is one color or the same form. Various models have been proposed to model the concentrations in different phases. The phenomena to be considered are mass rates and reaction. Homogeneous reactions are chemical reactions in which

798-628: Is a structural element that primarily resists loads applied laterally across the beam's axis (an element designed to carry a load pushing parallel to its axis would be a strut or column). Its mode of deflection is primarily by bending , as loads produce reaction forces at the beam's support points and internal bending moments , shear , stresses , strains , and deflections . Beams are characterized by their manner of support, profile (shape of cross-section), equilibrium conditions, length, and material. Beams are traditionally descriptions of building or civil engineering structural elements, where

855-573: Is a box (a square shell); the most efficient shape for bending in any direction, however, is a cylindrical shell or tube. For unidirectional bending, the Ɪ-beam or wide flange beam is superior. Efficiency means that for the same cross sectional area (volume of beam per length) subjected to the same loading conditions, the beam deflects less. Other shapes, like L-beam (angles), C (channels) , T-beam and double-T or tubes, are also used in construction when there are special requirements. This system provides horizontal bracing for small trenches, ensuring

912-446: Is a spelling traditionally reserved to biology and pathology , referring to the property of an object in the body having its origin outside the body. The concepts are the same to every level of complexity. From atoms to galaxies , plants , animals , humans , and other living organisms all share both a common or unique set of complexities. Hence, an element may be homogeneous on a larger scale, compared to being heterogeneous on

969-406: Is an adjectival suffix. Alternate spellings omitting the last -e- (and the associated pronunciations) are common, but mistaken: homogenous is strictly a biological/pathological term which has largely been replaced by homologous . But use of homogenous to mean homogeneous has seen a rise since 2000, enough for it to now be considered an "established variant". Similarly, heterogenous

1026-564: Is calculated as: where When bending radius ρ {\displaystyle \rho } approaches infinity and y ≪ ρ {\displaystyle y\ll \rho } , the original formula is back: In 1921, Timoshenko improved upon the Euler–Bernoulli theory of beams by adding the effect of shear into the beam equation. The kinematic assumptions of the Timoshenko theory are: However, normals to

1083-432: Is located at the lower edge of the beam. Since the stresses between these two opposing maxima vary linearly , there therefore exists a point on the linear path between them where there is no bending stress. The locus of these points is the neutral axis. Because of this area with no stress and the adjacent areas with low stress, using uniform cross section beams in bending is not a particularly efficient means of supporting

1140-488: Is much higher than that for solid cross sections such a rod or bar. In this way, stiff beams can be achieved with minimum weight. Thin walled beams are particularly useful when the material is a composite laminate . Pioneer work on composite laminate thin walled beams was done by Librescu . The torsional stiffness of a beam is greatly influenced by its cross sectional shape. For open sections, such as I sections, warping deflections occur which, if restrained, greatly increase

For materials with Poisson's ratios ( ν {\displaystyle \nu } ) close to 0.3, the shear correction factor are approximately For free, harmonic vibrations the Timoshenko–Rayleigh equations take

1368-410: Is valid only when the stress at the extreme fiber (i.e., the portion of the beam farthest from the neutral axis) is below the yield stress of the material from which it is constructed. At higher loadings the stress distribution becomes non-linear, and ductile materials will eventually enter a plastic hinge state where the magnitude of the stress is equal to the yield stress everywhere in the beam, with

1425-553: Is when multiple studies on an effect are measuring somewhat different effects due to differences in subject population, intervention, choice of analysis, experimental design, etc.; this can cause problems in attempts to summarize the meaning of the studies. In medicine and genetics , a genetic or allelic heterogeneous condition is one where the same disease or condition can be caused, or contributed to, by several factors, or in genetic terms, by varying or different genes or alleles . In cancer research , cancer cell heterogeneity

1482-531: The deflection of beams include "method of virtual work " and the "slope deflection method". Engineers are interested in determining deflections because the beam may be in direct contact with a brittle material such as glass . Beam deflections are also minimized for aesthetic reasons. A visibly sagging beam, even if structurally safe, is unsightly and to be avoided. A stiffer beam (high modulus of elasticity and/or one of higher second moment of area ) creates less deflection. Mathematical methods for determining

1539-444: The parallel axis theorem and the fact that most of the material is away from the neutral axis , the second moment of area of the beam increases, which in turn increases the stiffness. An Ɪ-beam is only the most efficient shape in one direction of bending: up and down looking at the profile as an 'Ɪ'. If the beam is bent side to side, it functions as an 'H', where it is less efficient. The most efficient shape for both directions in 2D

1596-631: The Timoshenko-Rayleigh beam equation for free vibrations can then be written as The defining feature of beams is that one of the dimensions is much larger than the other two. A structure is called a plate when it is flat and one of its dimensions is much smaller than the other two. There are several theories that attempt to describe the deformation and stress in a plate under applied loads two of which have been used widely. These are The assumptions of Kirchhoff–Love theory are These assumptions imply that Beam (structure) A beam

The equation for the quasistatic bending of a linear elastic, isotropic, homogeneous beam of constant cross-section beam under these assumptions is where I {\displaystyle I} is the area moment of inertia of the cross-section, A {\displaystyle A} is the cross-sectional area, G {\displaystyle G}

1710-425: The beam can be calculated using the relations Simple beam bending is often analyzed with the Euler–Bernoulli beam equation. The conditions for using simple bending theory are: Compressive and tensile forces develop in the direction of the beam axis under bending loads. These forces induce stresses on the beam. The maximum compressive stress is found at the uppermost edge of the beam while the maximum tensile stress

1824-424: The beam forces (internal forces of the beam and the forces that are imposed on the beam support) include the " moment distribution method ", the force or flexibility method and the direct stiffness method . Most beams in reinforced concrete buildings have rectangular cross sections, but a more efficient cross section for a beam is an Ɪ- or H-shaped section which is typically seen in steel construction. Because of

1881-493: The beam is homogeneous along its length as well, and not tapered (i.e. constant cross section), and deflects under an applied transverse load q ( x ) {\displaystyle q(x)} , it can be shown that: This is the Euler–Bernoulli equation for beam bending. After a solution for the displacement of the beam has been obtained, the bending moment ( M {\displaystyle M} ) and shear force ( Q {\displaystyle Q} ) in

1938-415: The beam is exposed to shear stress. There are some reinforced concrete beams in which the concrete is entirely in compression with tensile forces taken by steel tendons. These beams are known as prestressed concrete beams, and are fabricated to produce a compression more than the expected tension under loading conditions. High strength steel tendons are stretched while the beam is cast over them. Then, when

1995-436: The beam subjected to loads is supported on continuous elastic foundations (i.e. the continuous reactions due to external loading is distributed along the length of the beam) The dynamic bending of beams, also known as flexural vibrations of beams, was first investigated by Daniel Bernoulli in the late 18th century. Bernoulli's equation of motion of a vibrating beam tended to overestimate the natural frequencies of beams and

2052-416: The beams are horizontal and carry vertical loads. However, any structure may contain beams, such as automobile frames, aircraft components, machine frames, and other mechanical or structural systems. Any structural element , in any orientation, that primarily resists loads applied laterally across the element's axis is a beam. Historically a beam is a squared timber, but may also be made of metal, stone, or

2109-411: The books" means that she read none of them. Neither sentence can be asserted if Robin read exactly half of the books. This is a puzzle because the negative sentence does not appear to be the classical negation of the sentence. A variety of explanations have been proposed including that natural language operates on a trivalent logic . With information technology , heterogeneous computing occurs in

The axis of the beam retaining its original length, generally halfway between the top and bottom, is under neither compression nor tension, and defines the neutral axis (dotted line in the beam figure). Above the supports,

2223-415: The concrete has cured, the tendons are slowly released and the beam is immediately under eccentric axial loads. This eccentric loading creates an internal moment, and, in turn, increases the moment-carrying capacity of the beam. Prestressed beams are commonly used on highway bridges. The primary tool for structural analysis of beams is the Euler–Bernoulli beam equation . This equation accurately describes

Timoshenko improved upon that theory in 1922 by adding the effect of shear into the beam equation. Shear deformations of the normal to the mid-surface of the beam are allowed in the Timoshenko–Rayleigh theory. The equation for the bending of a linear elastic, isotropic, homogeneous beam of constant cross-section under these assumptions

2508-555: The elastic behaviour of slender beams where the cross sectional dimensions are small compared to the length of the beam. For beams that are not slender a different theory needs to be adopted to account for the deformation due to shear forces and, in dynamic cases, the rotary inertia. The beam formulation adopted here is that of Timoshenko and comparative examples can be found in NAFEMS Benchmark Challenge Number 7. Other mathematical methods for determining

In engineering, beams are of several types: In the beam equation , the variable I represents the second moment of area or moment of inertia : it is the sum, along the axis, of dA · r , where r is the distance from the neutral axis and dA is a small patch of area. It measures not only the total area of the beam section, but

2679-464: The latter would be a mixture of water, octane , and silicone grease . Heterogeneous solids, liquids, and gases may be made homogeneous by melting, stirring, or by allowing time to pass for diffusion to distribute the molecules evenly. For example, adding dye to water will create a heterogeneous solution at first, but will become homogeneous over time. Entropy allows for heterogeneous substances to become homogeneous over time. A heterogeneous mixture

2736-475: The maximum stress is less than the yield stress of the material. For stresses that exceed yield, refer to article plastic bending . At yield, the maximum stress experienced in the section (at the furthest points from the neutral axis of the beam) is defined as the flexural strength . Consider beams where the following are true: In this case, the equation describing beam deflection ( w {\displaystyle w} ) can be approximated as: where

Reactions that take place on the surface of a catalyst of a different phase are also heterogeneous. A reaction between two gases or two miscible liquids is homogeneous. A reaction between a gas and a liquid, a gas and a solid or a liquid and a solid is heterogeneous. Earth is

Note that M y , M z , I y , I z , I y z {\displaystyle M_{y},M_{z},I_{y},I_{z},I_{yz}} do not change from one point to another on

3021-555: The secure installation of utilities. It's specifically designed to work in conjunction with steel trench sheets. A thin walled beam is a very useful type of beam (structure). The cross section of thin walled beams is made up from thin panels connected among themselves to create closed or open cross sections of a beam (structure). Typical closed sections include round, square, and rectangular tubes. Open sections include I-beams, T-beams, L-beams, and so on. Thin walled beams exist because their bending stiffness per unit cross sectional area

3078-438: The square of each patch's distance from the axis. A larger value of I indicates a stiffer beam, more resistant to bending. Loads on a beam induce internal compressive , tensile and shear stresses (assuming no torsion or axial loading). Typically, under gravity loads, the beam bends into a slightly circular arc, with its original length compressed at the top to form an arc of smaller radius, while correspondingly stretched at

3135-780: The torsional stiffness. Homogeneous Homogeneity and heterogeneity are concepts relating to the uniformity of a substance , process or image. A homogeneous feature is uniform in composition or character (i.e. color, shape, size, weight, height, distribution, texture, language, income, disease, temperature, radioactivity, architectural design, etc.); one that is heterogeneous is distinctly nonuniform in at least one of these qualities. The words homogeneous and heterogeneous come from Medieval Latin homogeneus and heterogeneus , from Ancient Greek ὁμογενής ( homogenēs ) and ἑτερογενής ( heterogenēs ), from ὁμός ( homos , "same") and ἕτερος ( heteros , "other, another, different") respectively, followed by γένος ( genos , "kind"); -ous
