The bar is straight, of any uniform cross section, of homogeneous material, and (if under compression) short or constrained against lateral buckling. The loads are applied at the ends, centrally, and ...

When a load pushes down on the beam, the beam's top edge is pushed together (compression) while the bottom edge is stretched (tension). Take a flat eraser or a small sponge and slice a shallow ...

Traction dynamometers and tension dynamometers may use several different types of load cells, including a compression load cell, a tension load cell, or a combination compression/tension load cell.

They are based on the proven "moving body" approach, where the grip faces move horizontally to ensure minimal induced loads and excellent repeatability. Suitable for testing in compression with the ...

When a load pushes down on the beam, the beam's top edge is pushed together (compression) while the bottom edge is stretched (tension). Take a flat eraser or a small sponge and slice a shallow ...

The photograph illustrates the shape change of elements of a beam in bending. Note that the material is in compression on the inside of the curve and tension on the outside of the curve, and that ...

The diagram shows the frame geometry of a conventional bicycle. It is important to determine which components are in tension, which in compression, which experience bending forces, and what the ...
