  2. Structural dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_dynamics

    Dynamic loads include people, wind, waves, traffic, earthquakes, and blasts. Any structure can be subjected to dynamic loading. Dynamic analysis can be used to find dynamic displacements, time history, and modal analysis. Structural analysis is mainly concerned with finding out the behavior of a physical structure when subjected to force.

  3. Dynamic load testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_load_testing

    Dynamic load testing is a high strain dynamic test which can be applied after pile installation for concrete piles. For steel or timber piles, dynamic load testing can be done during installation or after installation. The procedure is standardized by ASTM D4945-00 Standard Test Method for High Strain Dynamic Testing of Piles.

  4. Structural load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_load

    Dead loads have small load factors, such as 1.2, because weight is mostly known and accounted for, such as structural members, architectural elements and finishes, large pieces of mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) equipment, and for buildings, it's common to include a Super Imposed Dead Load (SIDL) of around 5 pounds per square foot ...

  5. 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.

  6. Structural engineering theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering_theory

    The dynamic response of a structure to dynamic loads (the natural frequency of a structure) is also dependent on its stiffness. In a structure made up of multiple structural elements where the surface distributing the forces to the elements is rigid, the elements will carry loads in proportion to their relative stiffness - the stiffer an ...

  7. Vibration fatigue - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibration_fatigue

    An excited structure responds according to its natural-dynamics modes, which results in a dynamic stress load in the material points. [1] The process of material fatigue is thus governed largely by the shape of the excitation profile and the response it produces.

  8. 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 ...

  9. Dynamic amplification factor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_amplification_factor

    Dynamic Amplification Factor (DAF) or Dynamic Increase Factor (DIF), is a dimensionless number which describes how many times the deflections or stresses should be multiplied to the deflections or stresses caused by the static loads when a dynamic load is applied on to a structure.
