During the reconstruction of the ISOLDE on-line mass separator facility at CERN one of the goals was the development and implementation of an efficient and user friendly beam observation system. The pick-up devices used on the two mass separators and the beam lines are mainly Faraday cups, wire scanners and wire grids. Most of these items were specifically designed at ISOLDE, in particular, a l...

A prismatic beam made of a behaviorally nonlinear material is analyzed under aharmonic load moving with a known velocity. The vibration equation of motion is derived usingHamilton principle and Euler-Lagrange Equation. The amplitude of vibration, circular frequency,bending moment, stress and deflection of the beam can be calculated by the presented solution.Considering the response of the beam,...
