  2. Axial loading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_loading

    Axial loading is defined as applying a force on a structure directly along a given axis of said structure. [1] In the medical field, the term refers to the application of weight or force along the course of the long axis of the body. [2] The application of an axial load on the human spine can result in vertebral compression fractures. [3]

  3. Compression member - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_member

    Both material strength and buckling influence the load capacity of intermediate members; and The strength of slender (long) members is dominated by their buckling load. Formulas for calculating the buckling strength of slender members were first developed by Euler , while equations like the Perry-Robertson formula are commonly applied to ...

  4. P-delta effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-Delta_Effect

    P-delta is a moment found by multiplying the force due to the weight of the structure and applied axial load, P, by the first-order deflection, Δ or δ. NUMERICAL EXAMPLE OF P DELTA EFFECT ON A CALCULATOR You have a 1 meter tall rigid vertical rod that rotates on a hinge at the bottom of the rod. There is a 1 newton load on the top of the rod.

  5. Structural engineering theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering_theory

    Strength depends upon material properties. The strength of a material depends on its capacity to withstand axial stress, shear stress, bending, and torsion.The strength of a material is measured in force per unit area (newtons per square millimetre or N/mm², or the equivalent megapascals or MPa in the SI system and often pounds per square inch psi in the United States Customary Units system).

  6. Jammed finger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jammed_finger

    Axial loading of an object, commonly causing a jammed finger. Jammed fingers occur from axial loading at the tip of the finger. [7] Any activity in which the fingers are outstretched could result in a jammed finger. This is particularly common in ball-related sports, [8] where forceful contact with the ball and finger tip may occur. Contact ...

  7. Rule of mixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_mixtures

    In general there are two models, one for axial loading (Voigt model), [2] [4] and one for transverse loading (Reuss model). [ 2 ] [ 5 ] In general, for some material property E {\displaystyle E} (often the elastic modulus [ 1 ] ), the rule of mixtures states that the overall property in the direction parallel to the fibers may be as high as

  8. Deflection (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflection_(engineering)

    Deflection (f) in engineering. In structural engineering, deflection is the degree to which a part of a long structural element (such as beam) is deformed laterally (in the direction transverse to its longitudinal axis) under a load.

  9. Axial compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_compressor

    An animated simulation of an axial compressor. The static blades are the stators. An axial compressor is a gas compressor that can continuously pressurize gases. It is a rotating, airfoil-based compressor in which the gas or working fluid principally flows parallel to the axis of rotation, or axially.
