  2. Beamer (occupation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beamer_(occupation)

    Wrapping the warp threads around the warp beam of a loom in preparation for weaving. A beamer was an occupation in the cotton industry. [1] The taper's beam is a long cylinder with flanges where 400 plus ends (threads) are wound side-by-side. Creels of bobbins with the correct thread, mounted on a beaming frame wind their contents onto the beam.

  3. Sheet bend - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheet_bend

    Weaver at Queen Street Mill demonstrating a weaver's knot Steps in tying a weaver's knot. The sheet bend may be tied by various methods: the basic "rabbit through the hole" method of forming a half hitch in the bight of the larger rope, by a more expedient method shown in Ashley as ABoK #1431 (similar to the method used by an experienced sailor or mountaineer to tie a bowline) or by a trick ...

  4. Conjugate beam method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjugate_beam_method

    A M/EI diagram is a moment diagram divided by the beam's Young's modulus and moment of inertia. To make use of this comparison we will now consider a beam having the same length as the real beam, but referred here as the "conjugate beam." The conjugate beam is "loaded" with the M/EI diagram derived from the load on the real beam.

  5. Weaving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weaving

    The warp-beam is a wooden or metal cylinder on the back of the loom on which the warp is delivered. The threads of the warp extend in parallel order from the warp-beam to the front of the loom where they are attached to the cloth-roll. Each thread or group of threads of the warp passes through an opening (eye) in a heddle.

  6. Power loom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_loom

    The main components of the loom are the warp beam, heddles, harnesses, shuttle, reed, and takeup roll. In the loom, yarn processing includes shedding, picking, battening and taking-up operations. Shedding. Shedding is the raising of the warp yarns to form a loop through which the filling yarn, carried by the shuttle, can be inserted.

  7. Shear and moment diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_and_moment_diagram

    Shear and Bending moment diagram for a simply supported beam with a concentrated load at mid-span. Shear force and bending moment diagrams are analytical tools used in conjunction with structural analysis to help perform structural design by determining the value of shear forces and bending moments at a given point of a structural element such as a beam.

  8. Free body diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_body_diagram

    In physics and engineering, a free body diagram (FBD; also called a force diagram) [1] is a graphical illustration used to visualize the applied forces, moments, and resulting reactions on a free body in a given condition. It depicts a body or connected bodies with all the applied forces and moments, and reactions, which act on the body(ies).

  9. Moment distribution method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_distribution_method

    In the moment distribution method, every joint of the structure to be analysed is fixed so as to develop the fixed-end moments.Then each fixed joint is sequentially released and the fixed-end moments (which by the time of release are not in equilibrium) are distributed to adjacent members until equilibrium is achieved.
