The new A-link was produced using LPBF and had demonstrated higher tensile strength compared to the traditionally-forged version. The part was made at Premium AEROTEC’s facility in Varel, Germany, and a large number of test parts were printed and tested to ensure quality and repeatability for...
surfaces in combination with the development of high residual tensile stress causes cracks, which are generally at right angles to the direction of the sliding. Thermal cracking can occur if a stationary housing, for instance, comes into contact with the rotating bearing ring. Fig. 16: Forced fr...
Tensile strength is a measure of the stress needed to break a material by stretching. Stress is the force applied divided by the cross-sectional area of the material. Tensile strength is also referred to as ultimate tensile strength. Tensile strength is measured using tensile test rigs and sampl...
Bulk modulus measures the change in volume of a material sample, either by compression or extension, as a function of the applied load. For gases, the “tensile” loading is easily applied by using force to increase the volume of the gas in a sealed chamber. For solids and liquids, this...
From this simple test, we can find the ultimate tensile strength (UTS—how much stress it can take when it breaks), the tensile strength at yield (how much stress the material can stand before it starts to deform permanently), the modulus of elasticity (also called Young’s Modulus, ...
To avoid stress on the broken bone, joint loading, range of motion, and specific tendon-gliding exercises are employed to accelerate healing and assure return of function post fracture. For example, in the case of a broken forearm, exercises would involve movements of the fingers and hand, as...
I have for a long time been fascinated with the DIY world and tried to learn how to fix things myself. I dedicate this site to like minded people who love to find out how things work and how to fix things for themselves.
It’s not for tensile strength, it’s to block incoming and outgoing RFI (radio frequency interference). Any conductive material tends to block RF signals and shunt their charge to its surface. Indeed, the shielding on cables works as aFaraday cage. ...
Physiologically speaking, gaining strength is quite simple: You apply external stress to your body (in the form of a loaded barbell, a dumbbell, a kettlebell, or a set of bands), and it responds by recovering and adapting to that stress. However, that stress isn’t just applied to your...
Bone composition gives it great tensile strength. What does this mean? What are the functions of a sesamoid bone? Define and discuss the term stress. What causes a bone to thicken? Explain the effects of paralysis on the bones of a skeleton. ...
