There are many structures whose individual members are made up of  beams. Some examples include bridges, skyscrapers, artwork, signs,  parking covers, and even furniture. These beams are intentionally  designed with different cross-sectional shapes to optimize both  strength, and weight all depending on the type of loading condition they  will be subject to. As an engineer, it is our responsibility to  consider the loading conditions of the structures we design then to  select from the available beam geometries a shape and size that will be  more than strong enough to last. 
Common Beam Cross-Sectional Shapes
Statics allows us to quantify the loading conditions and use the  support types to understand the forces and moments a beam must be  designed to hold. Each symbol of a support type correlates to real-life  connections that are commonly used in structural design. In some cases,  support types that become too constraining create a statically  indeterminant situation where statics is not enough to solve for the  forces and moments on a structure. 
Structures and Members
In your original post, include the following:
Find a real-world example where beams are used in a structure and identify/discuss the following as they apply to your example 

Beam type
Support types
Loading type

  
In this project, you are tasked to design a truss beam for an industrial building. The truss beam and the loading are shown.
The project has three parts described below. Appropriate documents are to be submitted at the end of each phase in the format specified by the instructor. re
Part 1 Due date: last day of week 3
Consider the truss beam shown:
a. Draw the Free-Body Diagram (FBD)
b. Solve for the reaction of supports 

Basic architecture (internal structure and organization) of SPLDs,  CPLDs, and FPGAs. It also discusses software development tools that  cover generic design flow for programming a device, including design  entry, functional simulation, synthesis, implementation, timing  simulation, and downloading.

In industry, there are many cells used throughout the factory. The  control system for those cells is your PLC. Some of the most common ones  are:
Distributing
Testing
Assembly
Pick & Place
Sorting
For the proper operation of those cells, we need sensors and actuators to allow the PLC to execute the programmed logic.  

 
Let’s consider the scenario of the sorting station from FESTO that you will work on in your future PLC courses:
The  Sorting station sorts the workpieces onto three chutes. The detection  module is capable of verifying the presence of red, black, and metallic  workpieces. 
Workpieces placed onto the beginning of the conveyor belt are detected.
The workpieces are stopped by a pneumatic stopper to determine their characteristics.
The sensors in the detection module ascertain the workpieces’ material and color (black, red, metallic).
The workpieces are sorted onto the appropriate chutes by means of electrically operated deflectors.
A retroreflective sensor monitors the fill levels of the chutes.
Think  about how many and what types of sensors are needed for that system.  These sensors will provide the input signals to the PLC, which will  generate the output to turn on the conveyor belt, pneumatic stopper, or  deflectors. 
In your original post, describe the process flow step by step. For example, the initial check would be similar to:
Sequence
1. Workpiece detected at the beginning of the conveyor belt
2. Conveyor motor on
3. Color/material detection
