Buttress, in architecture, exterior support, usually of masonry, projecting from the face of a wall and serving either to strengthen it or to resist the side thrust created by the load on an arch or a roof.
If a 3D kinematic motion is generated by a caudal fin or pectoral fin, the model needs to be modified to capture the thrust created by the fin which will be also three dimensional.
Lift and thrust are artificially created elements devised to enable an aircraft to fly.
That new shape, he discovered, caused the water to flow in a different pattern around the tube, creating thrust.
But Riley has a gift for metaphor that gives this novel loft, and a rhythmic way of swinging from present to past that creates thrust.
A craft using Vasimr rockets would spend a month in orbit around the Earth gaining speed, then reach Mars in about 85 days by continually adjusting its thrust to follow a faster, more direct path.; HOW IT WORKS: To create thrust, Vasimr turns argon into plasma, a superheated state of matter in which negatively charged free electrons and positively charged ions mix together.
One of palaeontology's dirty little secrets is that fossils are not so much a record of past life, as a record of hard-bodied past life the things that have bones and shells.Although the fossil bed was discovered on a mountain, when these animals were alive they dwelt under an ocean, the bed of which was later thrust up to create the Rockies.
Fortunately, another big piece by Mr. Goehr was programmed: "A Musical Offering (J. S. B. 1985)," a sequence of contrapuntal inventions, dances, puzzles and quirky textures, constituting a homage to Schoenberg more than Bach and abounding in opportunities for the Sinfonietta musicians to thrust, parry and create exquisite ensemble sounds.
As the wheels move, the propeller turns, creating thrust.
On larger vehicles, a separate engine – or engines - drives other fans that create thrust for the vehicle.
This continental-continental collision type plate motion creates thrust faults with lengths less than the length of the BZSZ.
