The Series 2 digital force gauges from Mark-10 Corp. are designed for basic tension and compression force testing ...

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 ...

In a triangle, however, the compression in the two sides is balanced by the tension in the cross-piece at the bottom, which pulls the sides back together. This balancing of forces results in a ...

the concrete withstands the forces of compression well and the steel rods imbedded within resist the forces of tension. Pre-stressed concrete also tends to be one of the least expensive materials ...

Note that the material is in compression on the inside of the curve and tension on the outside of the curve ... pure bending shown in the diagram can be produced by applying four forces to the beam, ...

"Piggy-back" compression platens and adapters allow compression fixtures and lower force load cells to be attached in series, thus avoiding the need to remove these heavy grips between setups. These ...
