  2. P-delta effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-Delta_Effect

    One first-order effect is the initial deflection of the structure in reaction to the lateral load. The magnitude of the P-delta effect depends on the magnitude of this initial deflection. 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.

  3. Structural engineering theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering_theory

    A load case is a combination of different types of loads with safety factors applied to them. A structure is checked for strength and serviceability against all the load cases it is likely to experience during its lifetime. Typical load cases for design for strength (ultimate load cases; ULS) are: 1.2 x Dead Load + 1.6 x Live Load

  4. Hemodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemodynamics

    The heart is the driver of the circulatory system, pumping blood through rhythmic contraction and relaxation. The rate of blood flow out of the heart (often expressed in L/min) is known as the cardiac output (CO). Blood being pumped out of the heart first enters the aorta, the largest artery of the body.

    If your biggest concern about your heart is the burn you feel at 3 a.m., flip over to the left side and drift back to sleep. "Sleeping on the left side often helps with acid reflux," Dr. Vuppuluri ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatomical_terms_of_location

    Unilateral (from Latin unus 'one'): on one side of the body. [27] For example, a stroke can result in unilateral weakness , meaning weakness on one side of the body. Varus (from Latin 'bow-legged') and valgus (from Latin 'knock-kneed' ) are terms used to describe a state in which a part further away is abnormally placed towards (varus) or away ...

  7. Axial compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_compressor

    An animated simulation of an axial compressor. The static blades are the stators.. An axial compressor is a gas compressor that can continuously pressurize gases.It is a rotating, airfoil-based compressor in which the gas or working fluid principally flows parallel to the axis of rotation, or axially.

  8. Ball bearing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ball_bearing

    An axial or thrust ball bearing uses side-by-side races. An axial load is transmitted directly through the bearing, while a radial load is poorly supported and tends to separate the races, so that a larger radial load is likely to damage the bearing. Deep-groove

  9. Atrium (heart) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrium_(heart)

    In most fish, the circulatory system is very simple: a two-chambered heart including one atrium and one ventricle. Among sharks, the heart consists of four parts arranged serially: blood flows into the most posterior part, the sinus venosus, and then to the atrium which moves it to the third part, the ventricle, before it reaches the conus ...
