The drag strut member, used to transfer the load to the shear walls or frames; the chord, used to resist the tension and compression forces that develop in the diaphragm since the collector is usually incapable of handling these loads alone
Strut is a common name in timber framing for a support or brace of scantlings lighter than a post. Frequently struts are found in roof framing from either a tie beam or a king post to a principal rafter. Struts may be vertically plumb or leaning (then called canted, raking, or angled) and may be straight or curved.
In aeronautics, bracing comprises additional structural members which stiffen the functional airframe to give it rigidity and strength under load. Bracing may be applied both internally and externally, and may take the form of struts, which act in compression or tension as the need arises, and/or wires, which act only in tension.
Diagonal drag struts near the root were made from steel tubes. Constant chord flaps and Handley Page slotted ailerons together filled the whole trailing edge, mounted on a light-metal tube false spar and fabric-covered. Flap settings were 5° for launching and 60° for landing. The wings could be folded back alongside the fuselage for transport ...
Dragon beam is a horizontal, diagonal beam in the corner(s) of some traditional timber-framed buildings. The term is commonly used in both hip roof framing and jettying . Older publications may use the synonyms dragging beam, dragging piece, dragging tie, dragon piece or dragon tie.
The beam axle between them remains fixed relative to the chassis, linked by the suspension. Ackermann steering has the two advantages that it reduces tyre scrub, the need to drag tyres sideways across their tread when turning the steering, and also it reduced bump steer, suspension and road bumps tending to upset the steering direction. The ...
Steering system showing drag link. A drag link converts rotary motion from a crank arm, to a second bellcrank, usually in an automotive steering system.. While the origin of the term is not clear, it pre-dates the automobile, and is described as in use in 1849 as a means of rotating a Ducie cultivator being operated by cable by stationary steam engine (or between engines).
The beam carried the single seat in an open cockpit, locally ply-covered and with a removable ply cover fitted with a windshield, around the pilot. Elsewhere the pod was fabric-covered. From the aft of the beam a metal tube strut reached upwards and rearwards to support the boom that formed the rear fuselage.
