  2. Euler–Bernoulli beam theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler–Bernoulli_beam_theory

    Euler–Bernoulli beam theory (also known as engineer's beam theory or classical beam theory) [1] is a simplification of the linear theory of elasticity which provides a means of calculating the load-carrying and deflection characteristics of beams. It covers the case corresponding to small deflections of a beam that is subjected to lateral ...

  3. Ship measurements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_measurements

    Beam – A measure of the width of the ship. There are two types: Beam, Overall (BOA), commonly referred to simply as Beam – The overall width of the ship measured at the widest point of the nominal waterline. Beam on Centerline (BOC) – Used for multihull vessels. The BOC for vessels is measured as follows: For a catamaran: the ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Dalmatic - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalmatic

    Traditionally the dalmatic was not used in the Roman Rite by deacons during Lent. In its place, depending on the point in the liturgy, was worn either a folded chasuble or what was called a broad stole, which represented a rolled-up chasuble. This tradition went back to a time at which the dalmatic was still considered an essential secular ...

  6. Deflection (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    The beam is originally straight, and any taper is slight; The beam experiences only linear elastic deformation; The beam is slender (its length to height ratio is greater than 10) Only small deflections are considered (max deflection less than 1/10 of the span).

  7. Torsion constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_constant

    Non-circular cross-sections always have warping deformations that require numerical methods to allow for the exact calculation of the torsion constant. [ 2 ] The torsional stiffness of beams with non-circular cross sections is significantly increased if the warping of the end sections is restrained by, for example, stiff end blocks.

  8. Chasuble - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chasuble

    The chasuble (/ ˈ tʃ æ zj ʊ b əl /) is the outermost liturgical vestment worn by clergy for the celebration of the Eucharist in Western-tradition Christian churches that use full vestments, primarily in Roman Catholic, Anglican, and Lutheran churches.

  9. Beam diameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_diameter

    Five definitions of the beam width are in common use: D4σ, 10/90 or 20/80 knife-edge, 1/e 2, FWHM, and D86. The beam width can be measured in units of length at a particular plane perpendicular to the beam axis, but it can also refer to the angular width, which is the angle subtended by the beam at the source.
