What are the two types of stress a truss member can experience?
Compression or tension, the top chord will always experience compression and the bottom chord will always experience tension. The other members can experience either.
What is the difference between stress and strain and tension?
Stress is the tension/compression force per unit area.Strain is the ratio of change of length to the original length, due to applied force.Tension is the applied force which tends to elongate the body.
How do compression and tension create motion?
tension streches it compression squeezes it
A couple is applied to a beam resulting in half of the cross section experiencing tension and the other compression divided by the neutral axis so how do you find which half experiences tension?
This will cause the beam to bend. You need to see the beam like a stack of spaghetti. Extended spagghettis are in tension Shortened spaghettis are in compression (equals signs represent the beam, dots represent air) If it bends like this, it is tension on top, compression below ........=============....... ..===............................===.. =.........................................= If it bends like this, it is compression on top, tension bottom =.........................................= ..===............................===.. ........=============........
Compare the way that compression affects the crust to the way that tension affects the crust?
compression and tension are opposite. compression pushes the crust together but tension pulls it apart
Why was the crack an effect of tension and not compression stress?
A crack is caused by tension not compression because tension pulls matter apart while compression pushes matter together
List the three types of stress that occur in earth's crust?
the 3 kinds of stress are compression,tension, and shearing
The area of a span that is unaffected by an applied force is?
The line along the length of the beam between areas of tension and compression is called the neutral layer.
What are two types of elastic forces?
compression and tension Compression is a squeezing force, while tension is a pulling force.
What tension is in a car?
The springs in the suspension hold tension.
What are the five forces that act upon bridges?
1.compression 2.tension 3.torsion 4.shear 5.gravity
What is the neeed of extensometer?
it is used to measure the extension or compression in the object after it is subjected to tension or compression test it is used to measure the extension or compression in the object after it is subjected to tension or compression test
