Mechanical Loading
Cantilever bending
caused by an opposing forces with offset from the longitudinal axis
Bending loading
combination of forces applied to a structure causing it to bend (3 point bending, 4 point bending)
Torsional loading
combination of forces producing twisting of a body around its longitudinal axis
What is a mechanical load?
external force acting on the body
Tensile loading
force that results in stretching and pulling
Compressive loading
force that tends to cause pressing or squeezing
Sheer loading
force that tends to cause sliding of the surfaces
What are 5 types of mechanical loading?
tension, compression, sheer, bending, torsion
