  2. Neutral axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral_axis

    Therefore the neutral axis lies on the centroid of the cross section. Note that the neutral axis does not change in length when under bending. It may seem counterintuitive at first, but this is because there are no bending stresses in the neutral axis. However, there are shear stresses (τ) in the neutral axis, zero in the middle of the span ...

  3. Bending - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bending

    Simple beam bending is often analyzed with the Euler–Bernoulli beam equation. The conditions for using simple bending theory are: [4] The beam is subject to pure bending. This means that the shear force is zero, and that no torsional or axial loads are present. The material is isotropic (or orthotropic) and homogeneous.

  4. Neutral plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral_plane

    An evenly loaded beam, bending (sagging) under load. The neutral plane is shown by the dotted line. In mechanics, the neutral plane or neutral surface is a conceptual plane within a beam or cantilever. When loaded by a bending force, the beam bends so that the inner surface is in compression and the outer surface is in tension.

  5. Euler–Bernoulli beam theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler–Bernoulli_beam_theory

    Here, is the distance from the neutral axis to a point of interest; and is the bending moment. Note that this equation implies that pure bending (of positive sign) will cause zero stress at the neutral axis, positive (tensile) stress at the "top" of the beam, and negative (compressive) stress at the bottom of the beam; and also implies that the ...

    Meaning SI unit of measure alpha: alpha particle: angular acceleration: radian per second squared (rad/s 2) fine-structure constant: unitless beta: velocity in terms of the speed of light c: unitless beta particle: gamma: Lorentz factor: unitless photon: gamma ray: shear strain: radian

  7. Beam (structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_(structure)

    In the beam equation, the variable I represents the second moment of area or moment of inertia: it is the sum, along the axis, of dA·r 2, where r is the distance from the neutral axis and dA is a small patch of area. It measures not only the total area of the beam section, but the square of each patch's distance from the axis.

  8. Armature (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armature_(electrical)

    The geometrical neutral axis (GNA) is the axis that bisects the angle between the centre line of adjacent poles. The magnetic neutral axis (MNA) is the axis drawn perpendicular to the mean direction of the flux passing through the centre of the armature. No e.m.f. is produced in the armature conductors along this axis because then they cut no flux.

  9. Absolute geometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_geometry

    In Euclid's Elements, the first 28 Propositions and Proposition 31 avoid using the parallel postulate, and therefore are valid in absolute geometry.One can also prove in absolute geometry the exterior angle theorem (an exterior angle of a triangle is larger than either of the remote angles), as well as the Saccheri–Legendre theorem, which states that the sum of the measures of the angles in ...
