  2. 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.

  3. I-beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-beam

    ISMB: Indian Standard Medium Weight Beam, ISJB: Indian Standard Junior Beams, ISLB: Indian Standard Light Weight Beams, and ISWB: Indian Standard Wide Flange Beams. Beams are designated as per respective abbreviated reference followed by the depth of section, such as for example ISMB 450 , where 450 is the depth of section in millimetres (mm).

  4. DIN 1025 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIN_1025

    DIN 1025 is a DIN standard which defines the dimensions, masses and sectional properties of hot rolled I-beams.. The standard is divided in 5 parts: DIN 1025-1: Hot rolled I-sections - Part 1: Narrow flange I-sections, I-serie - Dimensions, masses, sectional properties

  5. 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).

  6. Rayleigh length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayleigh_length

    Gaussian beam width () as a function of the axial distance .: beam waist; : confocal parameter; : Rayleigh length; : total angular spread In optics and especially laser science, the Rayleigh length or Rayleigh range, , is the distance along the propagation direction of a beam from the waist to the place where the area of the cross section is doubled. [1]

  7. Engineering tolerance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_tolerance

    For example, if a shaft with a nominal diameter of 10 mm is to have a sliding fit within a hole, the shaft might be specified with a tolerance range from 9.964 to 10 mm (i.e., a zero fundamental deviation, but a lower deviation of 0.036 mm) and the hole might be specified with a tolerance range from 10.04 mm to 10.076 mm (0.04 mm fundamental ...

  8. Span (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    In engineering, span is the distance between two adjacent structural supports (e.g., two piers) of a structural member (e.g., a beam). Span is measured in the horizontal direction either between the faces of the supports (clear span) or between the centers of the bearing surfaces (effective span): [1] A span can be closed by a solid beam or by ...

  9. Ship measurements - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_measurements

    Used mainly to determine the minimum water depth for safe passage of a vessel and to calculate the vessel's displacement (obtained from ship's stability tables) so as to determine the mass of cargo on board. Draft, Air – Air Draft/Draught is the distance from the water line to the highest point on a ship (including antennas) while it is ...
