  2. Magnetic field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field

    The shape of the magnetic fields of a permanent magnet and an electromagnet are revealed by the orientation of iron filings sprinkled on pieces of paper. A magnetic field (sometimes called B-field[1]) is a physical field that describes the magnetic influence on moving electric charges, electric currents, [2]: ch1 [3] and magnetic materials.

  3. Section modulus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Section_modulus

    The plastic section modulus is used for materials and structures where limited plastic deformation is acceptable. It represents the section's capacity to resist bending once the material has yielded and entered the plastic range. It is used to determine the plastic, or full, moment strength of a section [1] Mp = Z ⋅ σy.

  4. Beam (structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_(structure)

    Beam (structure) A statically determinate beam, bending (sagging) under a uniformly distributed load. A beam is a structural element that primarily resists loads applied laterally across the beam's axis (an element designed to carry a load pushing parallel to its axis would be a strut or column). Its mode of deflection is primarily by bending ...

  5. Rebar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebar

    Rebar (short for reinforcing bar), known when massed as reinforcing steel or steel reinforcement, [1] is a steel bar used as a tension device in reinforced concrete and reinforced masonry structures to strengthen and aid the concrete under tension. Concrete is strong under compression, but has low tensile strength.

  6. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    The strength of structures of equal cross-sectional area loaded in tension is independent of shape of the cross-section. Materials loaded in tension are susceptible to stress concentrations such as material defects or abrupt changes in geometry. However, materials exhibiting ductile behaviour (many metals for example) can tolerate some defects ...

  7. Yield (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    Yield (engineering) In materials science and engineering, the yield point is the point on a stress-strain curve that indicates the limit of elastic behavior and the beginning of plastic behavior. Below the yield point, a material will deform elastically and will return to its original shape when the applied stress is removed. Once the yield ...

  8. Euler's critical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_critical_load

    Euler's critical load or Euler's buckling load is the compressive load at which a slender column will suddenly bend or buckle. It is given by the formula: [1] where. P c r {\displaystyle P_ {cr}} , Euler's critical load (longitudinal compression load on column), E {\displaystyle E} , Young's modulus of the column material, I {\displaystyle I ...
