  2. Buckling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckling

    If a structure is subjected to a gradually increasing load, when the load reaches a critical level, a member may suddenly change shape and the structure and component is said to have buckled. [2] Euler's critical load and Johnson's parabolic formula are used to determine the buckling stress of a column.

  3. Timoshenko–Ehrenfest beam theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timoshenko–Ehrenfest_beam...

    Physically, taking into account the added mechanisms of deformation effectively lowers the stiffness of the beam, while the result is a larger deflection under a static load and lower predicted eigenfrequencies for a given set of boundary conditions. The latter effect is more noticeable for higher frequencies as the wavelength becomes shorter ...

  4. Euler–Bernoulli beam theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler–Bernoulli_beam_theory

    It changes sign in the middle of the beam. The bending moment varies linearly from one end, where it is 0, and the center where its absolute value is PL / 4, is where the risk of rupture is the most important. The deformation of the beam is described by a polynomial of third degree over a half beam (the other half being symmetrical).

  5. Structural load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_load

    [1] [2] A load causes stress, deformation, displacement or acceleration in a structure. Structural analysis, a discipline in engineering, analyzes the effects of loads on structures and structural elements. Excess load may cause structural failure, so this should be considered and controlled during the design of a structure.

  6. Structural engineering theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering_theory

    A column under a centric axial load exhibiting the characteristic deformation of buckling. When subjected to compressive forces it is possible for structural elements to deform significantly due to the destabilising effect of that load. The effect can be initiated or exacerbated by possible inaccuracies in manufacture or construction.

  7. Deformation mechanism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deformation_mechanism

    The deformation process associated with this mechanism is referred to as granular flow. [8] The absence of voids results from solid-state diffusive mass transfer, locally enhanced crystal plastic deformation, or solution and precipitation of a grain boundary fluid. [1] This mechanism operates at a low strain rate produced by neighbor switching ...

  8. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    Strain, or reduced deformation, is a mathematical term that expresses the trend of the deformation change among the material field. Strain is the deformation per unit length. [ 9 ] In the case of uniaxial loading the displacement of a specimen (for example, a bar element) lead to a calculation of strain expressed as the quotient of the ...

  9. Bending - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bending

    there is no change in beam thickness after deformation However, normals to the axis are not required to remain perpendicular to the axis after deformation. The equation for the quasistatic bending of a linear elastic, isotropic, homogeneous beam of constant cross-section beam under these assumptions is [ 7 ]
