  2. Axial loading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_loading

    Axial loading is defined as applying a force on a structure directly along a given axis of said structure. [1] In the medical field, the term refers to the application of weight or force along the course of the long axis of the body. [2] The application of an axial load on the human spine can result in vertebral compression fractures. [3]

  3. P-delta effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-Delta_Effect

    P-delta is a moment found by multiplying the force due to the weight of the structure and applied axial load, P, by the first-order deflection, Δ or δ. NUMERICAL EXAMPLE OF P DELTA EFFECT ON A CALCULATOR You have a 1 meter tall rigid vertical rod that rotates on a hinge at the bottom of the rod. There is a 1 newton load on the top of the rod.

  4. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    Transverse loading also induces shear forces that cause shear deformation of the material and increase the transverse deflection of the member. Axial loading – The applied forces are collinear with the longitudinal axis of the member. The forces cause the member to either stretch or shorten. [2]

  5. Structural engineering theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering_theory

    For example, in the case of design for fire a load case of 1.0 x Dead Load + 0.8 x Live Load may be used, as it is reasonable to assume everyone has left the building if there is a fire. In multi-story buildings it is normal to reduce the total live load depending on the number of stories being supported, as the probability of maximum load ...

  6. Poisson's ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisson's_ratio

    Poisson's ratio of a material defines the ratio of transverse strain (x direction) to the axial strain (y direction)In materials science and solid mechanics, Poisson's ratio (symbol: ν ()) is a measure of the Poisson effect, the deformation (expansion or contraction) of a material in directions perpendicular to the specific direction of loading.

  7. Rule of mixtures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_mixtures

    In general there are two models, one for axial loading (Voigt model), [2] [4] and one for transverse loading (Reuss model). [2] [5] In general, for some material property (often the elastic modulus [1]), the rule of mixtures states that the overall property in the direction parallel to the fibers may be as high as

  8. Cylinder stress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cylinder_stress

    Along with axial stress and radial stress, circumferential stress is a component of the stress tensor in cylindrical coordinates. It is usually useful to decompose any force applied to an object with rotational symmetry into components parallel to the cylindrical coordinates r, z, and θ. These components of force induce corresponding stresses ...

  9. Flexural strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexural_strength

    is the axial load (force) at the fracture point; is width; is the depth or thickness of the material; The resulting stress for a rectangular sample under a load in a three-point bending setup (Fig. 3) is given by the formula below (see "Measuring flexural strength").
