  2. Slip-critical joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slip-critical_joint

    The "turn of the nut" method is also widely used to achieve that state of friction. If slip-critical connections fail (by slipping), they revert to bearing-type connections, with structural forces now transferred through bolt shear and connection plate bearing.

  3. Steel plate shear wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_plate_shear_wall

    [11] [12] [13] The method also addresses bending and shear interactions of the plastic ultimate capacity of steel panels, as well as bending and shear interactions of the ultimate yield strength for each individual component, that is the steel plate and surrounding frame.

  4. Shear and moment diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shear_and_moment_diagram

    Shear and Bending moment diagram for a simply supported beam with a concentrated load at mid-span. Shear force and bending moment diagrams are analytical tools used in conjunction with structural analysis to help perform structural design by determining the value of shear forces and bending moments at a given point of a structural element such as a beam.

  5. 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.

  6. Hold down (structural engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hold_down_(structural...

    A hold down resisting uplift from a timber shear wall. Holdown (holdown, hold-down, or hold down) or tie-down in structural engineering refers to the steel device or hardware that is installed at the end of a plywood shear wall. The hold downs provide uplift resistance against the overturning moment imposed on the wall due to "in-plane" lateral ...

  7. Bending of plates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bending_of_plates

    For rectangular plates, Navier in 1820 introduced a simple method for finding the displacement and stress when a plate is simply supported. The idea was to express the applied load in terms of Fourier components, find the solution for a sinusoidal load (a single Fourier component), and then superimpose the Fourier components to get the solution ...

  8. Plate theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_theory

    However, the shear strain is constant across the thickness of the plate. This cannot be accurate since the shear stress is known to be parabolic even for simple plate geometries. To account for the inaccuracy in the shear strain, a shear correction factor ( κ {\displaystyle \kappa } ) is applied so that the correct amount of internal energy is ...

  9. Gusset plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gusset_plate

    Gusset plates are usually square or rectangular, but can be triangular or made into a customized shape to fit the joint. The shape of each plate is designed so that welding or bolts can be applied to different edges of the plate. [2] A gusset plate can form the entire connection or it can be used in conjunction with bolts or welds. [2]
