The phrase "apply a load" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to physics, engineering, or any situation where a force or weight is being exerted on an object.
Example: "To test the strength of the material, we need to apply a load and measure its deformation."
Alternatives: "impose a load" or "exert a load".
To apply a load to the cells, the pair aimed an external magnetic field at the particles.
In the first test, we did not apply a load balancing approach and selected six MTs as test devices.
The principle of those tests is to apply a load that creates stress at the adhesive interface until failure is observed.
Using this device, a user can apply a load not to lower limbs but to the armrest with user's one elbow.
The measurement of its elastic mechanical properties was performed by using the AFM tip to apply a load in the center of the suspended region of the MoS2 nanosheets (Figure 2a and b).
Once the suspended nanosheet under study is identified and characterized, we measure its elastic mechanical properties using the AFM tip to apply a load cycle in the center of the suspended region of the nanosheet while its deformation is measured, as shown in the inset of Figure 2a.
Creep was achieved by applying a load corresponding to 30% of the strength of concrete to 100 × 250 mm prisms.
Hydraulic springs are comparatively small, thick-walled cylinders in which the spring effect is produced by applying a load to the fluid in the cylinder through a small piston entering at the centre of one end of the cylinder.
The initial condition of the structure of the fabric's knitting form, before applying a load, is closely correlated with the performance of the fabric under loading.
The polarization loss of 0.8% Ti-doped Raney nickel electrode was approximately halved by applying a load current increasing gradually up to the limiting current.
Figure 6 shows the system for applying a load to the cantilever beam specimens.
