  2. Dynamic loading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_loading

    Dynamic loading is a mechanism by which a computer program can, at run time, load a library (or other binary) into memory, retrieve the addresses of functions and variables contained in the library, execute those functions or access those variables, and unload the library from memory.

  3. Structural dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_dynamics

    Structural dynamics is a type of structural analysis which covers the behavior of a structure subjected to dynamic (actions having high acceleration) loading. Dynamic loads include people, wind, waves, traffic, earthquakes, and blasts. Any structure can be subjected to dynamic loading.

  4. Structural load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_load

    A structural load or structural action is a mechanical load (more generally a force) applied to structural elements. [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.

  5. Active load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_load

    The load resistance can often be varied rapidly in order to test the power supply's transient response. Just like a resistor, an active load converts the power supply's electrical energy to heat. The heat-dissipating devices (usually transistors ) in an active load therefore have to be designed to withstand the resulting temperature rise, and ...

  6. Dynamic load testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_load_testing

    Dynamic load testing (or dynamic loading) is a method to assess a pile's bearing capacity by applying a dynamic load to the pile head (a falling mass) while recording acceleration and strain on the pile head. Dynamic load testing is a high strain dynamic test which can be applied after pile installation for concrete piles. For steel or timber ...

  7. Mechanical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_load

    Mechanical load is the physical stress on a mechanical system or component [1] leading to strain. Loads can be static or dynamic. Some loads are specified as part of the design criteria of a mechanical system. Depending on the usage, some mechanical loads can be measured by an appropriate test method in a laboratory or in the field.

  8. Load cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Load_cell

    Useful for dynamic/frequent measurements of force. Most applications for piezo-based load cells are in the dynamic loading conditions, where strain gauge load cells can fail with high dynamic loading cycles. The piezoelectric effect is dynamic, that is, the electrical output of a gauge is an impulse function and is not static.

  9. Deflection (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflection_(engineering)

    Deflection (f) in engineering. In structural engineering, deflection is the degree to which a part of a long structural element (such as beam) is deformed laterally (in the direction transverse to its longitudinal axis) under a load.
