  2. Bearing surface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_surface

    On a screw, the bearing area loosely refers to the underside of the head. [1] Strictly speaking, the bearing area refers to the area of the screw head that directly bears on the part being fastened. [2] For a cylindrical bearing, it is the projected area perpendicular to the applied force. [3]

  3. Euler's critical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_critical_load

    The critical load is the greatest load that will not cause lateral deflection (buckling). For loads greater than the critical load, the column will deflect laterally. The critical load puts the column in a state of unstable equilibrium. A load beyond the critical load causes the column to fail by buckling. As the load is increased beyond the ...

  4. Abbott-Firestone curve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbott-Firestone_curve

    The Abbott-Firestone curve or bearing area curve (BAC) describes the surface texture of an object. The curve can be found from a profile trace by drawing lines parallel to the datum and measuring the fraction of the line which lies within the profile.

  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. Ball bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_bearing

    Axial An axial or thrust ball bearing uses side-by-side races. An axial load is transmitted directly through the bearing, while a radial load is poorly supported and tends to separate the races, so that a larger radial load is likely to damage the bearing. Deep-groove

  7. Three-point flexural test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-point_flexural_test

    The length of the crack is measured. The specimen is then loaded monotonically. A plot of the load versus the crack opening displacement is used to determine the load at which the crack starts growing. This load is substituted into the above formula to find the fracture toughness .

  8. Static load testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_load_testing

    Kentledge load testing in Haikou, Hainan, China. Static load testing is an in situ type of load testing used in geotechnical investigation to determine the bearing capacity of deep foundations prior to the construction of a building. It differs from the statnamic load test and dynamic load testing in that the pressure applied to the pile is slower.

  9. Buckling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckling

    Examination of this formula reveals the following facts with regard to the load-bearing ability of slender columns. The elasticity of the material of the column and not the compressive strength of the material of the column determines the column's buckling load. The buckling load is directly proportional to the second moment of area of the ...
