  2. Truss rod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truss_rod

    Truss rods are frequently made out of steel, though graphite and other materials are sometimes used.. The truss rod can be adjusted to compensate for expansion or contraction in the neck wood due to changes in humidity or temperature, or to compensate for changes in the tension of the strings (the thicker the guitar string, the higher its tension when tuned to correct pitch) or using different ...

    Stephenson's Dee Bridge had used a truss girder, where an inverted T-shaped cast iron girder was trussed by applied wrought iron tension bars. This faulty design was instrumental in the bridge failure, where tension in the truss rods increased compression in the upper part of the girder such that it underwent columnar failure.

  4. Timber roof truss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_roof_truss

    A queen post truss has two principal rafters and two vertical queen posts. [5] The queen post truss extends the span, and combined with spliced joints in the longer members extends the useful span for trusses of these types. As with a king post, the queen posts may be replaced with iron rods and thus called a queen rod truss.

    A truss is an assembly of members such as beams, connected by nodes, that creates a rigid structure. [1] In engineering, a truss is a structure that "consists of two-force members only, where the members are organized so that the assemblage as a whole behaves as a single object". [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cremona_diagram

    Cremona diagram for a plane truss. The Cremona diagram, also known as the Cremona-Maxwell method, is a graphical method used in statics of trusses to determine the forces in members (graphic statics). The method was developed by the Italian mathematician Luigi Cremona.

    The 4001 model features a neck-through construction, a full-wood body, fretboard with metal strings (originally flat-wound, though many players replaced them with round-wounds), twin truss rods, triangle inlays, two single coil pickups, two volume and two tone dials, selector switch, [2] and wiring for Rick-O-Sound (standard after 1971).
