  2. Timber roof truss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timber_roof_truss

    [6] [a] Sometimes a Palladian truss is defined as a compound truss with a queen post and king post truss in the same assembly. [7] The queen post truss and the king post truss may be combined, by using the straining beam of the queen post truss as the tie beam for a king post truss above. [8] Such combinations are known as compound trusses.

  3. Truss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truss

    A truss is an assembly of members such as beams, connected by nodes, that creates a rigid structure. [1] In engineering, a truss is a structure that "consists of two-force members only, where the members are organized so that the assemblage as a whole behaves as a single object". [2]

  4. LS-DYNA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LS-DYNA

    LS-DYNA originated from the 3D FEA program DYNA3D, developed by Dr. John O. Hallquist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in 1976. [4] DYNA3D was created in order to simulate the impact of the Full Fuzing Option (FUFO) or "Dial-a-yield" nuclear bomb for low altitude release (impact velocity of ~ 40 m/s).

  5. Structural analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_analysis

    In the context to structural analysis, a structure refers to a body or system of connected parts used to support a load. Important examples related to Civil Engineering include buildings, bridges, and towers; and in other branches of engineering, ship and aircraft frames, tanks, pressure vessels, mechanical systems, and electrical supporting structures are important.

  6. Heightmap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heightmap

    A heightmap contains one channel interpreted as a distance of displacement or "height" from the "floor" of a surface and sometimes visualized as luma of a grayscale image, with black representing minimum height and white representing maximum height. When the map is rendered, the designer can specify the amount of displacement for each unit of ...

    GNOME Calculator, a software calculator. A software calculator is a calculator that has been implemented as a computer program, rather than as a physical hardware device. They are among the simpler interactive software tools, and, as such, they provide operations for the user to select one at a time. They can be used to perform any process that ...

  8. List of longest continuous truss bridge spans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest_continuous...

    The Braga Bridge is a continuous truss bridge. It was the fourth longest span of this type when it was completed in 1966. This list of continuous bridge spans ranks the world's continuous truss bridges in two listings: The first is ranked by the length of main span (the longest length of unsupported roadway) and the second by the total length of continuous truss spans.

  9. Staggered truss system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staggered_truss_system

    The staggered truss system is a type of structural steel framing used in high-rise buildings. The system consists of a series of story-high trusses spanning the total width between two rows of exterior columns and arranged in a staggered pattern on adjacent column lines. [ 1 ]
