  2. Weaving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weaving

    The warp-beam is a wooden or metal cylinder on the back of the loom on which the warp is delivered. The threads of the warp extend in parallel order from the warp-beam to the front of the loom where they are attached to the cloth-roll. Each thread or group of threads of the warp passes through an opening (eye) in a heddle.

  3. Warp and weft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warp_and_weft

    In the manufacture of cloth, warp and weft are the two basic components in weaving to transform thread and yarn into textile fabrics. The vertical warp yarns are held stationary in tension on a loom (frame) while the horizontal weft (also called the woof) is drawn through (inserted over and under) the warp thread. [1]

  4. Loom - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loom

    A simple treadle floor loom. Mouse over components for pop-up links. The warp runs horizontally. On the left the warp beam, held from turning by with a weighted trough to keep the warp taut; on the right, the cloth beam (also called a breast beam on this type of loom), with a pawl and ratchet to allow the weaver to roll up the fell. In the ...

  5. Beamer (occupation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beamer_(occupation)

    Wrapping the warp threads around the warp beam of a loom in preparation for weaving. A beamer was an occupation in the cotton industry. [1] The taper's beam is a long cylinder with flanges where 400 plus ends (threads) are wound side-by-side. Creels of bobbins with the correct thread, mounted on a beaming frame wind their contents onto the beam.

  6. Shear and moment diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_and_moment_diagram

    Shear and Bending moment diagram for a simply supported beam with a concentrated load at mid-span. Shear force and bending moment diagrams are analytical tools used in conjunction with structural analysis to help perform structural design by determining the value of shear forces and bending moments at a given point of a structural element such as a beam.

  7. Reed (weaving) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed_(weaving)

    Common reed sizes for the hand-weaver are 6, 8, 10, 12, or 15 dents per inch, although sizes between 5 and 24 are not uncommon. [9] A reed with a larger number of dents per inch is generally used to weave finer fabric with a larger number of ends per inch. Because it is used to beat the weft into place, the reed regulates the distance between ...

    For example, if you start saving $100 every month at the age of 35 — with a 12% annual average rate of return — you’d have $300,000 by the age of 65, Orman explained.

  9. Bending moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bending_moment

    Shear and moment diagram for a simply supported beam with a concentrated load at mid-span.. In solid mechanics, a bending moment is the reaction induced in a structural element when an external force or moment is applied to the element, causing the element to bend.
