2. Diaphragm (structural system) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphragm_(structural_system)

   On the other hand, rigid diaphragms transfer load to frames or shear walls depending on their flexibility and their location in the structure. Diaphragms that cannot be classified as either flexible or rigid are referred to as semirigid. [1] The flexibility of a diaphragm affects the distribution of lateral forces to the vertical components of ...

3. Diaphragmatic rupture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphragmatic_rupture

   The free edge of a ruptured diaphragm may curl and become perpendicular to the chest wall, a sign known as a dangling diaphragm. A herniated organ may constrict at the location of a rupture, a sign known as the collar sign. If the liver herniates through a rupture on the right side, it may produce two signs known as the hump and band signs.

4. Diaphragm (mechanical device) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphragm_(mechanical_device)

   In mechanics, a diaphragm is a sheet of a semi-flexible material anchored at its periphery and most often round in shape. It serves either as a barrier between two chambers, moving slightly up into one chamber or down into the other depending on differences in pressure, or as a device that vibrates when certain frequencies are applied to it.

5. Diaphragm valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphragm_valve

   Diaphragm valves (or membrane valves) consists of a valve body with two or more ports, a flexible diaphragm, and a "weir or saddle" or seat upon which the diaphragm closes the valve. The valve body may be constructed from plastic , metal or other materials depending on the intended use.

6. Diaphragm pump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphragm_pump

   The basic working principle of an air-operated double diaphragm pump. Cross-section sketch of diaphragm fuel pump Air-operated double diaphragm pump. A diaphragm pump (also known as a Membrane pump) is a positive displacement pump that uses a combination of the reciprocating action of a rubber, thermoplastic or teflon diaphragm and suitable valves on either side of the diaphragm (check valve ...

7. Structural rigidity - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_rigidity

   Rigidity is the property of a structure that it does not bend or flex under an applied force. The opposite of rigidity is flexibility.In structural rigidity theory, structures are formed by collections of objects that are themselves rigid bodies, often assumed to take simple geometric forms such as straight rods (line segments), with pairs of objects connected by flexible hinges.

9. Coupling - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling

   These names include flexible coupling, flexible beam coupling, flexible shaft coupling, flexure, helical coupling, and shaft coupling. The primary benefit to using a flexible beam coupling to join two rotating shafts is to reducing vibration and reaction loads which in turn will reduce overall wear and tear on machinery and prolong equipment life.
