  2. Double tee - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_tee

    Diagram of double tee beam. A double tee or double-T beam is a load-bearing structure that resembles two T-beams connected to each other side by side. The strong bond of the flange (horizontal section) and the two webs (vertical members, also known as stems) creates a structure that is capable of withstanding high loads while having a long span.

  3. Tire code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_code

    The load index on a passenger-car tire is a two- or three-digit numerical code used to cross-reference a load & inflation table that will give the maximum load each tire can carry at a given pressure. The load index is sometimes used in conjunction with the load range, which appears elsewhere on the tire.

  4. Compression member - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_member

    Both material strength and buckling influence the load capacity of intermediate members; and The strength of slender (long) members is dominated by their buckling load. Formulas for calculating the buckling strength of slender members were first developed by Euler , while equations like the Perry-Robertson formula are commonly applied to ...

  5. Two- and four-stroke engines - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-_and_four-stroke_engines

    The four-stroke engine is more efficient when running at full throttle, while the opposite is the case for the two-stroke engine. When a small car under heavy load runs at half speed, the engine automatically switches to the two-cycle mode, which is then more efficient. The research on this showed a 27% reduction in fuel consumption. [8] [9]

  6. Forklift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forklift

    A typical load capacity chart. It is possible to replace an existing attachment or add one to a lift that does not already have one. Considerations include forklift type, capacity, carriage type, and number of hydraulic functions (that power the attachment features). As mentioned in the preceding section, replacing or adding an attachment may ...

  7. Oversize load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oversize_load

    In the United States, an oversize load is a vehicle and/or load that is wider than 8 ft 6 in (2.59 m). Each individual state has different requirements regarding height and length (most states are 13 ft 6 in or 4.11 m tall), and a driver must purchase a permit for each state he/she will be traveling through.

  8. Tire load sensitivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tire_load_sensitivity

    Coulomb friction theory says that the maximum horizontal force developed should be proportional to the vertical load on the tire. In practice, the maximum horizontal force Fy that can be generated is proportional, roughly, to the vertical load Fz raised to the power of somewhere between 0.7 and 0.9, typically.

  9. Compressive strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressive_strength

    In mechanics, compressive strength (or compression strength) is the capacity of a material or structure to withstand loads tending to reduce size (compression). It is opposed to tensile strength which withstands loads tending to elongate, resisting tension (being pulled apart).
