  2. Cantilever method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever_method

    The cantilever method is an approximate method for calculating shear forces and moments developed in beams and columns of a frame or structure due to lateral loads. The applied lateral loads typically include wind loads and earthquake loads, which must be taken into consideration while designing buildings.

  3. Deflection (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    Deflection (f) in engineering. In structural engineering, deflection is the degree to which a part of a long structural element (such as beam) is deformed laterally (in the direction transverse to its longitudinal axis) under a load.

  4. Cantilever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever

    The roof built over the stands at Old Trafford uses a cantilever so that no supports will block views of the field. The old (now demolished) Miami Stadium had a similar roof over the spectator area. The largest cantilevered roof in Europe is located at St James' Park in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, the home stadium of Newcastle United F.C. [3] [4]

  5. Rack unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rack_unit

    Rack with sample component sizes including an A/V half-rack unit. A rack unit (abbreviated U or RU) is a unit of measure defined as 1 + 3 ⁄ 4 inches (44.45 mm). [1] [2] It is most frequently used as a measurement of the overall height of 19-inch and 23-inch rack frames, as well as the height of equipment that mounts in these frames, whereby the height of the frame or equipment is expressed ...

  6. Euler's critical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_critical_load

    Fig. 1: Critical stress vs slenderness ratio for steel, for E = 200 GPa, yield strength = 240 MPa.. Euler's critical load or Euler's buckling load is the compressive load at which a slender column will suddenly bend or buckle.

  7. Energy release rate (fracture mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_release_rate...

    Double cantilever beam (DCB) specimen under tensile load. J-integral path for the DCB specimen under tensile load. Consider the double cantilever beam specimen shown in the figure, where the crack centered in the beam of height has a length of , and a load is applied to open the crack. Assume that the material is linearly-elastic and that the ...

  8. Timoshenko–Ehrenfest beam theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timoshenko–Ehrenfest_beam...

    A cantilever Timoshenko beam under a point load at the free end For a cantilever beam , one boundary is clamped while the other is free. Let us use a right handed coordinate system where the x {\displaystyle x} direction is positive towards right and the z {\displaystyle z} direction is positive upward.

  9. Roof rack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roof_rack

    When installing roof racks, it is essential to load the bars properly per the owner's manual. When driving on the road, one needs to load the allowed weight minus the weight of the roof rack kit. If one plans to use the roof racks for off-road driving, the allowed weight should be divided by 2, and this will be the maximum amount to be carried ...
