  2. Tensile structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tensile_structure

    The world's first tensile steel shell by Vladimir Shukhov (during construction), Nizhny Novgorod, 1895 The Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Kings Domain, Melbourne. In structural engineering, a tensile structure is a construction of elements carrying only tension and no compression or bending.

  3. Special Operations Forces Grouping (Argentina) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Operations_Forces...

    603 Commando Company (Spanish: Compañía de Comandos 603) is a one of three commando (special operations capable) units of Argentine Army. The date of formation is unknown, probably recent. 601 Air Assault Regiment (Spanish: Regimiento de Asalto Aéreo 601) is a special operations forces unit of the Argentine Army, created in January 2003.

  4. Surface force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_force

    Block on a ramp and corresponding free body diagram of the block showing the surface force from the ramp onto the bottom of the block and separated into two components, a normal force N and a frictional shear force f, along with the body force of gravity mg acting at the center of mass.

  5. Contact force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_force

    The microscopic origin of contact forces is diverse. Normal force is directly a result of Pauli exclusion principle and not a true force per se: Everyday objects do not actually touch each other; rather, contact forces are the result of the interactions of the electrons at or near the surfaces of the objects.

  6. Force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force

    A force is an influence that can cause an object to change its velocity unless counterbalanced by other forces. The concept of force makes the everyday notion of pushing or pulling mathematically precise.

  7. Compression (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_(physics)

    Compression test on a universal testing machine. Compression of solids has many implications in materials science, physics and structural engineering, for compression yields noticeable amounts of stress and tension.

  8. Fundamental interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_interaction

    In his 1687 theory, Isaac Newton postulated space as an infinite and unalterable physical structure existing before, within, and around all objects while their states and relations unfold at a constant pace everywhere, thus absolute space and time.

  9. Centrifugal force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_force

    Centrifugal force is a fictitious force in Newtonian mechanics (also called an "inertial" or "pseudo" force) that appears to act on all objects when viewed in a rotating frame of reference.
