The stress in a tension member is uniform throughout the cross-section except: near the point of application of load, and at the cross-section with holes for bolts or other discontinuities, etc. For …

When you pull on a string or rope, it becomes taut. We say that there is tension in the string. Tension is a force. How does its magnitude and direction vary along the string? If the string were cut in any …

For a light string or rope, we have assumed that the tension is transmitted undiminished throughout the rope. We will continue to assume this to be true even when the rope changes direction due to a light …

Tension must be applied to webs to keep them in traction with idler and driven rolls. All webs stretch in the machine direction as tension is applied to them. It is important to apply proper tension to a web …

Flipping Physics Lecture Notes: Understanding the Tension Force The Tension Force or the Force of Tension is the force transmitted through a rope, cable, string or wire pulled taut by forces acting on …

1.3 The scaling of surface tension a surface tension σ. The flow is marked by characteristic length- and velocity-scales nal field g = −gˆz. We thus have a physical system defined in terms of six physical …

Surface tension depends on the physical properties of both of the interfacing materials, which is quite different from other material constants, for example the bulk modulus, that normally depend only on …
