  2. I-beam - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-beam

    where I is the moment of inertia of the beam cross-section and c is the distance of the top of the beam from the neutral axis (see beam theory for more details). For a beam of cross-sectional area a and height h , the ideal cross-section would have half the area at a distance ⁠ h / 2 ⁠ above the cross-section and the other half at a ...

  3. Iron frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_frame

    At first, the cruciform profile was used, later displaced by the hollow round shape and H-beams. [3] Relative tensile weakness made the cast iron not the best choice for the beams and girders , this was compensated by making the bottom flange of an I-beam (the one experiencing the tension) much wider than the top, compressed, one and varying ...

  4. Stage lighting instrument - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stage_lighting_instrument

    ERS or profile lanterns have many useful features. One of the most useful are the metal shutters at the focal plane of the lens to shape the beam of light. The original shape of the beam is round, but with the use of the shutters one can limit the beam to avoid obstacles or parts of the set that should not be illuminated in a specific look.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_steel

    Structural channel, or {C-beam, or 'C' cross-section; Tee (T-shaped cross-section) Rail profile (asymmetrical Ɪ-beam) Railway rail; Vignoles rail; Flanged R rail; Grooved rail; Bar, a long piece with a rectangular cross section, but not so wide so as to be called a sheet. Rod, a round or square section long compared to its width; see also ...

  6. Glossary of structural engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_structural...

    The loads applied to the beam result in reaction forces at the beam's support points. The total effect of all the forces acting on the beam is to produce shear forces and bending moments within the beam, that in turn induce internal stresses, strains and deflections of the beam. Beams are characterized by their manner of support, profile (shape ...

  7. Thin walled beams - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thin_walled_beams

    A thin walled beam is a type of beam (structure) that does not have a solid cross sectional area. The cross section of thin walled beams is made up from thin panels connected together. Typical closed sections include round, square, and rectangular tubes. Open sections include I-beams, T-beams, L-beams, and so on.

  8. Ogee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ogee

    A building's surface detailing, inside and outside, often includes decorative moulding, and these often contain ogee-shaped profiles—consisting (from low to high) of a concave arc flowing into a convex arc, with vertical ends; if the lower curve is convex and higher one concave, this is known as a Roman ogee, although frequently the terms are used interchangeably and for a variety of other ...

  9. Laser beam profiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_beam_profiler

    A laser beam profiler captures, displays, and records the spatial intensity profile of a laser beam at a particular plane transverse to the beam propagation path. Since there are many types of lasers— ultraviolet , visible , infrared , continuous wave , pulsed, high-power, low-power—there is an assortment of instrumentation for measuring ...
