    Abstract:

    A new axis-alignment method for single-mode fibers is proposed. To align core axes of the fibers to be spliced, light beams are excited by bending the fibers near the splice point; the fiber end faces are observed through a beam splitter. An average splice loss of 0.09 dB is attained.

    To understand shear on the flat side of a prismatic beam element, consider the vertical and horizontal shearing forces, and the normal forces, acting on the element. The element's upper (U) and lower (L) sections, which are divided by the beam's neutral axis, are examined. The equilibrium of these forces is determined by applying the equilibrium equation, which helps identify the horizontal shearing force. This force is directly related to the bending moments and the cross-section's...

    Prismatic Beams: Problem Solving

    In the design of a supported timber beam subjected to a distributed load, both the beam's physical dimensions and the timber's characteristics, such as its grade and species, are critical. These factors determine the allowable stress values, which are crucial for calculating the necessary beam depth to ensure structural integrity and safety.
    The design begins with analyzing the beam as a free body to identify moments and force balances, thereby determining support reactions. Next, the...
