  2. Bearing capacity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_capacity

    The bearing capacity of soil is the maximum average contact pressure between the foundation and the soil which should not produce shear failure in the soil. Ultimate bearing capacity is the theoretical maximum pressure which can be supported without failure; allowable bearing capacity is the ultimate bearing capacity divided by a factor of ...

  3. Euler's critical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_critical_load

    The critical load is the greatest load that will not cause lateral deflection (buckling). For loads greater than the critical load, the column will deflect laterally. The critical load puts the column in a state of unstable equilibrium. A load beyond the critical load causes the column to fail by buckling. As the load is increased beyond the ...

  4. Bearing pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_pressure

    When the rotation is slow and the load is radial, the model of uniform pressure can be used (small deformations and clearance). The product of the bearing pressure times the circumferential sliding speed, called load factor PV, is an estimation of the resistance capacity of the material against the frictional heating.

  5. Structural analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_analysis

    In the context to structural analysis, a structure refers to a body or system of connected parts used to support a load. Important examples related to Civil Engineering include buildings, bridges, and towers; and in other branches of engineering, ship and aircraft frames, tanks, pressure vessels, mechanical systems, and electrical supporting structures are important.

  6. Compressive strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressive_strength

    ´ =, where F is load applied [N] and A is area [m 2]. As stated, the area of the specimen varies on compression. In reality therefore the area is some function of the applied load i.e. A = f (F). Indeed, stress is defined as the force divided by the area at the start of the experiment.

  7. Offshore embedded anchors - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offshore_embedded_anchors

    The fluke of a plate anchor is a bearing plate that provides the large majority of the anchors holding capacity at its ultimate embedment depth. As well as contributing to anchor capacity, the fluke may contribute to anchor stability during embedment.

  8. Structural support - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_support

    Whatever the condition is, a specific rigidity is necessary for connection designs. The support connection type has effects on the load bearing capacity of each element, which makes up a structural system. Each support condition influences the behaviour of the elements and therefore, the system.

  9. Magnetic levitation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_levitation

    To calculate the magnetic field generated by permanent magnets, we can use an approach based on the Biot-Savart law applied to finite-size rectangular current sheets. This method involves modeling the magnets as an assembly of such sheets, allowing for the calculation of the three components of the magnetic field B ⃗_z at any point in space.
