  2. Structural dynamics - Wikipedia

    Graphs of dynamic amplification factors vs non-dimensional rise time (t r /T) exist for standard loading functions (for an explanation of rise time, see time history analysis below). Hence the DAF for a given loading can be read from the graph, the static deflection can be easily calculated for simple structures and the dynamic deflection found.

  3. Structural load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_load

    These load factors are, roughly, a ratio of the theoretical design strength to the maximum load expected in service. They are developed to help achieve the desired level of reliability of a structure [6] based on probabilistic studies that take into account the load's originating cause, recurrence, distribution, and static or dynamic nature. [7]

    1.0 x Dead Load + 1.0 x Live Load. Different load cases would be used for different loading conditions. For example, in the case of design for fire a load case of 1.0 x Dead Load + 0.8 x Live Load may be used, as it is reasonable to assume everyone has left the building if there is a fire.

  5. Dynamic loading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_loading

    Dynamic loading was a common technique for IBM's operating systems for System/360 such as OS/360, particularly for I/O subroutines, and for COBOL and PL/I runtime libraries, and continues to be used in IBM's operating systems for z/Architecture, such as z/OS. As far as the application programmer is concerned, the loading is largely transparent ...

  6. Mechanical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_load

    Mechanical load is the physical stress on a mechanical system or component [1] leading to strain. Loads can be static or dynamic. Some loads are specified as part of the design criteria of a mechanical system. Depending on the usage, some mechanical loads can be measured by an appropriate test method in a laboratory or in the field.

  7. Static load testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_load_testing

    Static load testing is an in situ type of load testing used in geotechnical investigation to determine the bearing capacity of deep foundations prior to the construction of a building. It differs from the statnamic load test and dynamic load testing in that the pressure applied to the pile is slower.

  8. Dynamic Stretching Vs. Static Stretching: Health Benefits - AOL

    Dynamic stretches are done to warm up before a workout and static stretches are done to cool down. Stretching reduces injury risk, relieves sore muscles and increases flexibility.

  9. Quasistatic loading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quasistatic_loading

    In solid mechanics, quasistatic loading refers to loading where inertial effects are negligible. In other words, time and inertial force are irrelevant. [1] References
