  2. AFGROW - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AFGROW

    Other user options include five load interaction (retardation) models (closure, [6] [7] Fastran, [8] Hsu, Wheeler, [9] and Generalized Willenborg [10]), a strain-life based fatigue crack initiation model, and the ability to perform a crack growth analysis with the effect of the bonded repair. The program also includes tools such as: stress ...

  3. Falling weight deflectometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falling_weight_deflectometer

    Segmented load plates adapt to the shape of the pavement to more evenly distribute the load on uneven surfaces. The load plate diameter is typically 300 mm diameter on roads and 450 mm on airports, and the load for road testing is about 40 kN, producing about 567 kPa pressure under the load plate (50 kN / 707 kPa according to European standard).

  4. Static load testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_load_testing

    Kentledge load testing in Haikou, Hainan, China. 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.

  5. Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain - Wikipedia

    It also features expanded tables and cases, improved notations and figures within the tables, consistent table and equation numbering, and verification of correction factors. The formulas are organized into tables in a hierarchical format: chapter, table, case, subcase, and each case and subcase is accompanied by diagrams.

  6. Bending of plates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bending_of_plates

    The left half of the plate shows the deformed shape, while the right half shows the undeformed shape. This calculation was performed using Ansys. Bending of plates, or plate bending, refers to the deflection of a plate perpendicular to the plane of the plate under the action of external forces and moments.

  7. Sandwich theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandwich_theory

    Sandwich theory [1] [2] describes the behaviour of a beam, plate, or shell which consists of three layers—two facesheets and one core. The most commonly used sandwich theory is linear and is an extension of first-order beam theory.

  8. Plate theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_theory

    The typical thickness to width ratio of a plate structure is less than 0.1. [citation needed] A plate theory takes advantage of this disparity in length scale to reduce the full three-dimensional solid mechanics problem to a two-dimensional problem. The aim of plate theory is to calculate the deformation and stresses in a plate subjected to loads.

  9. Compressive strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressive_strength

    ´ =, where F is load applied [N] and A is area [m 2]. As stated, the area of the specimen varies on compression. In reality therefore the area is some function of the applied load i.e. A = f (F). Indeed, stress is defined as the force divided by the area at the start of the experiment.
