A displacement finite element method for analyzing a beam on continuous elastic foundation is presented. A three-dimensional model which accounts for the effects of both the Filonenko-Borodich and Pastemak foundation models in a consistent and complete way is used. A variational principle is introduced with the slope field due to bending only and the displacement field approximated by independe...

13 An 80 mm long polarizing S-bender with a large cross section of 30 mm x 100 mm for the 14 instrument MIRA at the FRM II has been simulated, built and tested. The results of the 15 experiment show for the wavelength of 4.4 Å a homogenous polarization of more than 98% 16 across the bender cross section and a high transmission of above 65% of the spin up 17 component of the neutron beam. The be...

the main objective of this study is to drive a simple solution for prediction of steel fiber reinforced concrete (sfrc) behavior under four point bending test (fpbt). in this model all the force components at the beam section (before and after cracking) are formulated by applying these assumptions: a bilinear elastic-perfectly plastic stress-strain response for concrete behavior in compression,...

The GSI Unilac was upgraded as a high current injector for the SIS in 1999. Therefore, the stripping section [1] at 1.4 MeV/u, where a beam transport under highest space charge conditions and multi beam operation had to be established, was completely new designed. Results of the commissioning of the stripper section will be presented. The beam transport to the new gas stripper, and the charge s...

Open boundary conditions. Since the source current, Eq. 1, extends from z = −∞ to +∞ whereas our computational domain is finite, one has to apply suitable boundary conditions (see also [2]). Consider some accelerator component, residing in a vacuum cavity with attached beam pipe of smaller cross section than the cavity. Generally, the transitions from the pipe to the module have to be included ...

Despite the very small electron beam emittance in thirdgeneration light sources, the horizontal size of the emitted x-ray beam is still determined mainly by the electron beam divergence. Providing a converging electron beam in an undulator straight section can significantly decrease the spot size of the downstream x-rays, which leads to an increase in the photon flux density on the user sample....

The preservation of beam quality in a plasma wakefield accelerator driven by ultrahigh intensity and ultralow emittance beams, characteristic of future particle colliders, is a challenge. The electric field of these beams leads to plasma ions motion, resulting in a nonlinear focusing force and emittance growth of the beam. We propose to use an adiabatic matching section consisting of a short pl...

In the present paper, electrical energy harvesting from random vibrations of an Euler-Bernoulli nano-beam with two piezoelectric layers is investigated. The beam is composed of an aluminum layer together with two piezoelectric ceramic layers (PZT 5A) serving as energy harvesting sensors. In the proposed method, the equations governing the bimorph nano-beam will be analytically derived using cla...
