  2. Cantilever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever

    A cantilever in a traditionally timber framed building is called a jetty or forebay. In the southern United States, a historic barn type is the cantilever barn of log construction. Temporary cantilevers are often used in construction. The partially constructed structure creates a cantilever, but the completed structure does not act as a cantilever.

  3. Cantilever bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever_bridge

    A cantilever bridge is a bridge built using structures that project horizontally into space, supported on only one end (called cantilevers).For small footbridges, the cantilevers may be simple beams; however, large cantilever bridges designed to handle road or rail traffic use trusses built from structural steel, or box girders built from prestressed concrete.

  4. Wing configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_configuration

    The Spitfire wing may be classified as: "a conventional low-wing cantilever monoplane with unswept elliptical wings of moderate aspect ratio and slight dihedral".. The wing configuration or planform of a fixed-wing aircraft (including both gliders and powered aeroplanes) is its arrangement of lifting and related surfaces.

Commonly used for denoting any strict order. 3. Between two groups, may mean that the second one is a proper subgroup of the first one. ≤ 1.

  6. 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.

  7. Euler–Bernoulli beam theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler–Bernoulli_beam_theory

    Cantilevered beam excited near the resonant frequency of mode 2. The unknown constant (actually constants as there is one for each n {\displaystyle n} ), A 1 {\displaystyle A_{1}} , which in general is complex, is determined by the initial conditions at t = 0 {\displaystyle t=0} on the velocity and displacements of the beam.

  8. Continuous truss bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous_truss_bridge

    However, continuous truss bridges do not experience the tipping forces that a cantilever bridge must resist because the main span of a continuous truss bridge is supported at both ends. The result of collapse of a continuous truss bridge (the Francis Scott Key Bridge). It is possible to convert a series of simple truss spans into a continuous ...
