Once the gap is closed, the axial strain can no longer increase; however, axial stress is produced. This is shown in the stress animation below. In this animation, the red vertical slider on the left ...

If the Poisson's ratio of the material if positive, then tensile/compressive strains in the x-direction produce compressive/tensile strains in the y- and z-directions, as shown below. Negative Poisson ...

strong compression strength, good electrical and thermal conductivity but poor resistance to corrosion Manhole covers, pans and gates, vices High-carbon steel (tool steel) Hard but brittle ...

In Part I, we learned how the 20% rule—stating that an air-bent radius forms as a percentage of the die opening—works well on ...

The steelmaking expertise behind Cyclone Metals has fast-tracked the company to assert its position as the first ASX-listed ...

Although concrete has good compression strength, the tensile strength is quite poor. Around the late 1800s, someone thought to fortify spans of concrete with steel reinforcing bars, better known ...

The US Department of Energy’s new definition of a ‘zero emissions building’ is pure doublethink ...

In wave compression springs, wires are flattened, stacked lines of stainless steel. Most compression springs are made of rounded wire ... When a spring is compressed for the first time and the stress ...

Strength. Rigidity. Dependability. The ability to bear weight without buckling. These are all things that we look for when we build a mechanical structure. And in today’s Retrotechtacular we ...

Within these pathological changes, there are areas of fibrocartilaginous metaplasia, and mechanotransduction models suggest that this response could be due to compressive load. As load management is a ...
