Dirac Medal (IOP)

For other prizes with similar name, see Dirac Medal.

The Paul Dirac Medal and Prize is a gold medal awarded annually by the Institute of Physics (Britain's and Ireland's main professional body for physicists) for "outstanding contributions to theoretical (including mathematical and computational) physics".[1] The award, which includes a £1000 prize, was decided upon by the Institute of Physics in 1985, and first granted in 1987.

Beam (structure)

Structural element capable of withstanding loads by resisting bending A statically determinate beam, bending (sagging) under a uniformly distributed load A beam is a structural element that primarily resists loads applied laterally across the beam's axis (an element designed to carry a load pushing parallel to its axis would be a strut or column). Its mode of deflection is primarily by bending, as loads produce reaction forces at the beam's support points and internal bending moments, shear, ...
