Stresses in beams are one of the most fundamental concepts in structural engineering, directly impacting the safety and ...

Here is a force diagram for the car while it is crashing. The two vertical forces (gravity and the road) clearly are not too important.

Traditional tablet presses do not measure tablets' tensile strength, yet this characteristic strongly influences tablet quality. The author describes a compression technique that accounts for tensile ...

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 ...
