  2. Goat grazing problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goat_grazing_problem

    The goat problems do not yield any new mathematical insights; rather they are primarily exercises in how to artfully deconstruct problems in order to facilitate solution. Three-dimensional analogues and planar boundary/area problems on other shapes, including the obvious rectangular barn and/or field, have been proposed and solved. [ 1 ]

  3. Structural engineering theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering_theory

    Strength depends upon material properties. The strength of a material depends on its capacity to withstand axial stress, shear stress, bending, and torsion.The strength of a material is measured in force per unit area (newtons per square millimetre or N/mm², or the equivalent megapascals or MPa in the SI system and often pounds per square inch psi in the United States Customary Units system).

  4. Capstan equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capstan_equation

    A small holding force exerted on one side can carry a much larger loading force on the other side; this is the principle by which a capstan-type device operates. A holding capstan is a ratchet device that can turn only in one direction; once a load is pulled into place in that direction, it can be held with a much smaller force.

  5. Forsby-Köping limestone cableway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forsby-Köping_limestone...

    Passing cableway cars were automatically loaded from a storage silo, after the passage to Köping cars were automatically unloaded, the limestone was fine-ground and ready for cement production. [4] The cableway is supported by 235 concrete trestles and split into 4 sections with stations in Forsby och Köping as well as the angle stations at ...

  6. Feasibility study - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feasibility_study

    A feasibility study is an assessment of the practicality of a project or system. A feasibility study aims to objectively and rationally uncover the strengths and weaknesses of an existing business or proposed venture, opportunities and threats present in the natural environment, the resources required to carry through, and ultimately the prospects for success.

    On 21 December 2007, poma (France) presented a cable car project in Nizhny Novgorod. In 2009, JSC "Energomash" and Project team "StroyArchitecture" (Moscow) completed the development of a set of drawings, the company had to produce 10 supports with a height of 40 to 80 m and a total weight of steel structures – 560 tons.

  8. Contact mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contact_mechanics

    The classical theory of contact focused primarily on non-adhesive contact where no tension force is allowed to occur within the contact area, i.e., contacting bodies can be separated without adhesion forces. Several analytical and numerical approaches have been used to solve contact problems that satisfy the no-adhesion condition.

  9. Aerial lift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_lift

    An aerial lift, [1] also known as a cable car or ropeway, is a means of cable transport in which cabins, cars, gondolas, or open chairs are hauled above the ground by means of one or more cables. Aerial lift systems are frequently employed in a mountainous territory where roads are relatively difficult to build and use, and have seen extensive ...
