  2. 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

  3. 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]

  4. Poisson's ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson's_ratio

    Poisson's ratio of a material defines the ratio of transverse strain (x direction) to the axial strain (y direction)In materials science and solid mechanics, Poisson's ratio (symbol: ν ()) is a measure of the Poisson effect, the deformation (expansion or contraction) of a material in directions perpendicular to the specific direction of loading.

  5. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    The methods employed to predict the response of a structure under loading and its susceptibility to various failure modes takes into account the properties of the materials such as its yield strength, ultimate strength, Young's modulus, and Poisson's ratio. In addition, the mechanical element's macroscopic properties (geometric properties) such ...

  6. Stress (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_(mechanics)

    If the load is compression on the bar, rather than stretching it, the analysis is the same except that the force F and the stress change sign, and the stress is called compressive stress. The ratio σ = F / A {\displaystyle \sigma =F/A} may be only an average stress.

  7. Trigonal bipyramidal molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigonal_bipyramidal...

    As examples, in PF 5 the axial P−F bond length is 158 pm and the equatorial is 152 pm, and in PCl 5 the axial and equatorial are 214 and 202 pm respectively. [ 2 ] In the mixed halide PF 3 Cl 2 the chlorines occupy two of the equatorial positions, [ 2 ] indicating that fluorine has a greater apicophilicity or tendency to occupy an axial position.

  8. Seesaw molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seesaw_molecular_geometry

    An atom bonded to 5 other atoms (and no lone pairs) forms a trigonal bipyramid with two axial and three equatorial positions, but in the seesaw geometry one of the atoms is replaced by a lone pair of electrons, which is always in an equatorial position. This is true because the lone pair occupies more space near the central atom (A) than does a ...

  9. T-shaped molecular geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-shaped_molecular_geometry

    The T-shaped geometry is related to the trigonal bipyramidal molecular geometry for AX 5 molecules with three equatorial and two axial ligands. In an AX 3 E 2 molecule, the two lone pairs occupy two equatorial positions, and the three ligand atoms occupy the two axial positions as well as one equatorial position. The three atoms bond at 90 ...
