	NOVA Online \| Super Bridge \| Beam Bridges
		The beam itself must be strong so that it doesn't bend under its own weight and the added weight of crossing traffic.
		When a load pushes down on the beam, the beam's top edge is pushed together (compression) while the bottom edge is stretched (tension).
		Pre-stressed concrete is an ideal material for beam bridge construction; the concrete withstands the forces of compression well and the steel rods imbedded within resist the forces of tension.

	Beam (structure) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Beams are characterized by their profile (the shape of their cross-section), their length, and their material.
		Under gravity loads, the top of the beam is under compression while the bottom of the beam is under tension, leaving the middle of the beam relatively stress-free in the middle of the span, with shear stress above the supports.
		Mathematical methods for determining the beam forces (internal forces of the beam and the forces that are imposed on the beam support) include the "moment distribution method", the force or flexibility method and the matrix stiffness method.

	Beams - theory and practice
		The bodies of many animals can be considered as beams between the legs, and their necks can be considered as cantilevers, though of course the internal structure is vastly more complicated than anything made by people Look at a giraffe, for example.
		At the centre of the beam, the cross section is at 45 degrees to the horizontal.
		To make a beam more stiff, instead of merely using more material to deepen a beam, it is better to split the existing material into several parallel beams which are deep but narrow; this is a better use of the material.

		Molecular Beam Epitaxy System in the William R. Wiley Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory is used to grow and characterize thin crystalline films of oxides and ceramics to understand in detail the chemistry that occurs on oxides and ceramic surfaces.
		The term "beam" simply means that evaporated atoms do not interact with each other or any other vacuum chamber gases until they reach the wafer, due to the large mean free path lengths of the beams.
		Molecular beam epitaxy is also used for the deposition of some types of organic semiconductors.

	Introducing the Particle-Beam Weapon
		As the particles of the beam collide with the atoms, protons, and electrons of the material composing the target, the energy of the particles in the beam is passed on to the atoms of the target much like a cue ball breaks apart a racked group of billiard balls.
		In describing a particle beam, it is conventional to speak of the energy of the beam (in electron-volts), the beam current (in amperes), and the power of the beam (in watts).
		The result of this phenomenon is to neutralize the overall charge of the beam, thereby reducing the undesired effect of mutual repulsion among the charged particles in the beam that is a cause of beam spreading.

	BEAM
		BEAM is a school of robotics, starting from simple reflexes, in a "bottoms-up" approach.
		The majority of BEAM robots are non-computerized (although simple CPUs can be used to drive them, in a "horse and rider" sort of way).
		Unlike many traditional processor-based robots, BEAM robots are cheap, simple, and can be built by a hobbyist with basic skills in a matter of hours.

		The BEAM Robot Games is therefore not so much a series of technological competitions as a chance for robot enthusiasts to present their designs to each other, the press, and the public.
		Thus BEAM, which stands for Biology, Electronics, Aesthetics, and Mechanics (amongst others) is a system founded by Mark W. Tilden while at the University of Waterloo (Canada) that allows first time enthusiasts to get started easily.
		Building robots is difficult, so the BEAM games are designed as a forum where designers don't so much match wits against each other, but against the natural (and relentless) perversity of the physical universe.
