2. Belt (mechanical) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belt_(mechanical)

   An automotive belt with the number "740K6" or "6K740" indicates a belt 74 inches (190 cm) in length, 6 ribs wide, with a rib pitch of 9 ⁄ 64 of an inch (3.6 mm) (a standard thickness for a K series automotive belt would be 4.5mm). A metric equivalent would be usually indicated by "6PK1880" whereby 6 refers to the number of ribs, PK refers to ...

3. Bowden cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowden_cable

   The origin and invention of the Bowden cable are open to some dispute, confusion and myth. The invention of the Bowden cable has been popularly attributed to Sir Frank Bowden, one time owner of the Raleigh Bicycle Company who, circa 1902, was reputed to have started replacing the rigid rods used for brakes with a flexible wound cable but no evidence for this exists.

4. Hooke's law - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooke's_law

   In physics, Hooke's law is an empirical law which states that the force (F) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance (x) scales linearly with respect to that distance—that is, F s = kx, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring (i.e., its stiffness), and x is small compared to the total possible deformation of the spring.

5. Mass-spring-damper model - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass-spring-damper_model

   The mass-spring-damper model consists of discrete mass nodes distributed throughout an object and interconnected via a network of springs and dampers. This model is well-suited for modelling object with complex material properties such as nonlinearity and viscoelasticity .

6. Tensile structure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensile_structure

   Spiral strand is slightly weaker than locked coil strand. Steel spiral strand cables have a Young's modulus, E of 150±10 kN/mm 2 (or 150±10 GPa) and come in sizes from 3 to 90 mm diameter. [citation needed] Spiral strand suffers from construction stretch, where the strands compact when the cable is loaded. This is normally removed by pre ...

7. Chain - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chain

   A chain is a serial assembly of connected pieces, called links, typically made of metal, with an overall character similar to that of a rope in that it is flexible and curved in compression but linear, rigid, and load-bearing in tension. A chain may consist of two or more links.
