  2. Compression set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_set

    Compression set B is (like Compression set A) defined as the percentage of specimen deflection after it has been left in normal (uncompressed) conditions for 30 minutes. C B , the compression set B is given by C B = [(t o - t i ) / (t o - t n )] * 100 where t o is the original specimen thickness, t i is the specimen thickness after testing and ...

  3. Hooke's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hooke's_law

    In physics, Hooke's law is an empirical law which states that the force (F) needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance (x) scales linearly with respect to that distance—that is, F s = kx, where k is a constant factor characteristic of the spring (i.e., its stiffness), and x is small compared to the total possible deformation of the spring.

  4. Series and parallel springs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Series_and_parallel_springs

    The following table gives formula for the spring that is equivalent to a system of two springs, in series or in parallel, whose spring constants are and . [1] The compliance c {\displaystyle c} of a spring is the reciprocal 1 / k {\displaystyle 1/k} of its spring constant.)

  5. Capstan equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capstan_equation

    Schematic of quantities for capstan equation An example of holding capstans and a powered capstan used to raise sails on a tall ship. The capstan equation [ 1 ] or belt friction equation , also known as Euler–Eytelwein formula [ 2 ] (after Leonhard Euler and Johann Albert Eytelwein ), [ 3 ] relates the hold-force to the load-force if a ...

    A description of each calculation, written in English, is generated and may be copied into the user's documents. Interactive help is available. The program provides methods that are appropriate for matched and independent t-tests, [ 2 ] survival analysis, [ 5 ] matched [ 6 ] and unmatched [ 7 ] [ 8 ] studies of dichotomous events, the Mantel ...

  7. Spring (device) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spring_(device)

    Springs can be classified depending on how the load force is applied to them: Tension/extension spring The spring is designed to operate with a tension load, so the spring stretches as the load is applied to it. Compression spring Designed to operate with a compression load, so the spring gets shorter as the load is applied to it. Torsion spring

  8. Compressive strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressive_strength

    The parameters (,,,) obtained from a test result can be used with these formulas to calculate the equivalent true stress ´ at failure. Specimen shape effect The graph of specimen shape effect shows how the ratio of true stress to engineering stress (σ´/σ e ) varies with the aspect ratio of the test specimen ( d o / l o {\textstyle d_{o}/l ...

  9. Sample size determination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_size_determination

    Sample size determination or estimation is the act of choosing the number of observations or replicates to include in a statistical sample. The sample size is an important feature of any empirical study in which the goal is to make inferences about a population from a sample.
