Various types of loads and forces act on a retaining wall, and their calculation is essential for its design. These forces on the retaining wall depends on multiple factors which are discussed. Loads ...

With a clever design, researchers have solved eddy-current damping in macroscopic levitating systems, paving the way for a ...

Abstract: Animals can use the maneuver of a flipping body and flapping wings to reduce the normal rebound force of impact during landing, decreasing the adsorption force required by the contact point.

Physics is the search for and application of rules that can help us understand and predict the world around us. Central to physics are ideas such as energy, mass, particles and waves. Physics attempts ...
