  2. Preload (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    Internal stress to a bearing through application of negative clearance is known as bearing preloading. Advantages of preloading include the following: maintain axial and radial position for accurate displacements of angular movements; increase bearing rigidity; prevent sliding or gyroscope-like movements, especially with high acceleration or rotation rates; maintain relative position of ...

    Preload (cardiology) Heart during ventricular diastole. In cardiac physiology, preload is the amount of sarcomere stretch experienced by cardiac muscle cells, called cardiomyocytes, at the end of ventricular filling during diastole. [1] Preload is directly related to ventricular filling.

  6. preload (software) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preload_(software)

    preload is a free Linux program which runs as a daemon to record statistics about usage of files by more frequently-used programs. This information is then used to keep these files preloaded into memory. [1] This results in faster application startup times as less data needs to be fetched from disk. preload is often paired with prelink. preload ...

    Power training. A box jump being performed in a gym. Plyometrics are a basic and effective power training exercise which require little or no equipment. Jumping with the addition of weights, such as dumbbells or a trap bar, can lead to an even greater ability to perform powerfully. Power training typically involves exercises which apply the ...

  9. Bolted joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolted_joint

    A bolted joint is one of the most common elements in construction and machine design. It consists of a male threaded fastener (e. g., a bolt) that captures and joins other parts, secured with a matching female screw thread. There are two main types of bolted joint designs: tension joints and shear joints.
