  2. K factor (traffic engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K_factor_(traffic_engineering)

    The calculation for the K factor is given by the formula: DHV= K*AADT. in which DHV is the "Design Hourly Volume," the 30th highest hourly traffic volume (in both directions) in the year in which data was collected, by vehicles per hour. [4]

  3. Euler's critical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_critical_load

    Fig. 2: Column effective length factors for Euler's critical load. In practical design, it is recommended to increase the factors as shown above. The following assumptions are made while deriving Euler's formula: [3] The material of the column is homogeneous and isotropic. The compressive load on the column is axial only.

  4. Stress intensity factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_intensity_factor

    In fracture mechanics, the stress intensity factor (K) is used to predict the stress state ("stress intensity") near the tip of a crack or notch caused by a remote load or residual stresses. [1] It is a theoretical construct usually applied to a homogeneous, linear elastic material and is useful for providing a failure criterion for brittle ...

  5. K-factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-factor

    K factor (crude oil refining), a system for classifying crude oil; K-factor (fire protection), formula used to calculate the discharge rate from a fire system nozzle; K-factor (metalurgy), formulae used to calculate the bending capacity of sheet metal; K factor (traffic engineering), the proportion of annual average daily traffic occurring in ...

  6. Moment distribution method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_distribution_method

    The moment distribution method is a structural analysis method for statically indeterminate beams and frames developed by Hardy Cross. It was published in 1930 in an ASCE journal. [ 1 ] The method only accounts for flexural effects and ignores axial and shear effects.

  7. K-factor (metallurgy) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-factor_(metallurgy)

    The K-factor is the bending capacity of sheet metal, and by extension the forumulae used to calculate this. [1] [2] [3] Mathematically it is an engineering aspect of geometry. [4] Such is its intricacy in precision sheet metal bending [5] (with press brakes in particular) that its proper application in engineering has been termed an art. [4] [5]

  8. K correction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K_correction

    K correction converts measurements of astronomical objects into their respective rest frames. The correction acts on that object's observed magnitude (or equivalently, its flux ). Because astronomical observations often measure through a single filter or bandpass, observers only measure a fraction of the total spectrum , redshifted into the ...

  9. K-factor (aeronautics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-factor_(aeronautics)

    Pressure and temperature sensors providing pulses can be used to determine mass flow, with division of the pulses by the K-factor, or multiplication with the inverse of the K-factor providing factored totalization, and rate indication. Furthermore, by dividing the pulse rate by the K-Factor, the volumetric throughput per unit time of the rate ...
