Thus, the mineralized components operate optimally in compression and the organic components in tension.
Such structures mainly include unstrained grid-shells (components in compression), cable nets or membranes (components in tension) and tensegrity structures (components both in compression and tension) (Barnes 1977; Topping and Ivanyi 2007; Tran and Lee 2010; Koohestani 2013).
The cyclic deformation and mechanisms of failure are related to the relative magnitude of tensile and shear stress components in the tension and torsion loading modes.
The bolts are considered at present as components loaded only in tension.
This paper describes the use of an image acquisition and processing technique for the measurement of deformations in steel T-stub connections, representing the tension component in a steel joint.
The normative and scientific components of the analysis are in tension.
With the development of a new joint component to represent the RC slab in tension, the authors' mechanical model proves to be able to produce accurate and consistent predictions of the moment rotation characteristics of composite steel TSW angle joints.
A "grand coalition" has built-in tensions.
Yu's research identifies four active components in the typical web cleat connection: bolts in tension, web cleats in bending, bolts in shear and beam web in bearing.
Second, she makes clear that empathy and the rule of law are not at all in tension, but rather two indispensable components of our system of justice.
