  2. Linear scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_scale

    The drawing was made 130 years after the bridge was built. A linear scale, also called a bar scale, scale bar, graphic scale, or graphical scale, is a means of visually showing the scale of a map, nautical chart, engineering drawing, or architectural drawing. A scale bar is common element of map layouts.

  3. Brass model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brass_model

    Brass models are scale models typically of railroad equipment, bridges and occasionally of buildings, made from brass or similar alloys. Although die-cast or plastic models have made considerable advances in late 1990s and continue to improve, brass models offer finer details.

  4. Size effect on structural strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Size_Effect_on_Structural...

    Eq. 2 is the cumulative Weibull distribution with scale parameter and shape parameter ; = [^ ()] = constant factor depending on the structure geometry, = structure volume; = relative (size-independent) coordinate vectors, ^ = dimensionless stress field (dependent on geometry), scaled so that the maximum stress be 1; = number of spatial ...

  5. Scale model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_model

    A prestige scale for boats, comparable to that of 1:32 for fighter planes, is 1:72, producing huge models, but there are very few kits marketed in this scale. There are now several clubs around the world for those who choose to scratch-build radio-controlled model ships and submarines in 1:72, which is often done because of the compatibility ...

  6. Rail transport modelling scales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Rail_transport_modelling_scales

    This scale is today the most popular modelling scale in the UK, although it once had some following in the US (on 19 mm / 0.748 in gauge track) before World War II. 00 or "Double-Oh", together with EM gauge and P4 standards are all to 4 mm scale as the scale is the same, but the track standards are incompatible. 00 uses the same track as HO (16 ...

  7. Scale (ratio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_(ratio)

    The scale ratio of a model represents the proportional ratio of a linear dimension of the model to the same feature of the original. Examples include a 3-dimensional scale model of a building or the scale drawings of the elevations or plans of a building. [1] In such cases the scale is dimensionless and exact throughout the model or drawing.

  8. Troitsky Bridge Building Competition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troitsky_Bridge_Building...

    The Troitsky Bridge Building Competition is an annual event that takes place at Concordia University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in the spring. Participating teams of engineering students come from universities across Canada and the United States. They design and build model bridges out of popsicle sticks, toothpicks, white glue and dental floss.

    Expressed as percent of full scale output per degree of °F or °C. Temperature Effect on Zero: Change in zero balance caused by ambient temperature changes. Expressed as percent of full scale output per degree of °F or °C. Input Resistance: Input resistance of the load cell's bridge circuit.
