    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bow_shape

    A decurve bow is a bow that has arms curved or curled at the ends to turn towards the archer. This bow form reduces the strain on the bow when it is used, and the bow may be under no tension at all when strung, so that it can be kept ready for immediate use at all times. It also reduces the energy stored in the bow, and the speed of the arrow.

  3. Genu varum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genu_varum

    Genu varum (also called bow-leggedness, bandiness, bandy-leg, and tibia vara) is a varus deformity marked by (outward) bowing at the knee, which means that the lower leg is angled inward in relation to the thigh's axis, giving the limb overall the appearance of an archer's bow.

  4. Form-fit connection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form-fit_connection

    Towards the bottom, the lid has a stop against the pot. This is a "half form-fit" because upwards it can be removed. A form-fit acts via the geometric contact of two effective surfaces, and the effective forces are transmitted as normal forces to the effective surfaces of a driver part (surface pressure and Hertzian contact stress). Typically ...

  5. Flatbow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flatbow

    The flatbow is a superior bow design for almost all materials because the stress is more evenly spread out than with rounded limb sections. A bow limb is essentially a flexed beam undergoing bending, and in any flexed beam the farther from the neutral axis (line in the middle of the flexing beam which is not under tension or compression: see diagram in Bending article) the more stress there is ...

  6. Varus deformity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varus_deformity

    For example, in a valgus deformity of the knee, the distal part of the leg below the knee is deviated outward, in relation to the femur, resulting in a knock-kneed appearance. Conversely, a varus deformity at the knee results in a bowlegged with the distal part of the leg deviated inward, in relation to the femur. However, in relation to the ...

  9. Takedown bow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takedown_bow

    The same takedown bow is shown disassembled on a travel case, and assembled for use. A takedown bow is a bow assembled out of a riser and two limbs to make a working bow when strung. [1] The primary advantage of the takedown design is that it can be transported in a much shorter case when disassembled. [2]
