An axial load is a force administered along the lines of an axis.
This is typically used to describe an injury in which there is compression of the spine from the head, such as when a person dives head first into shallow water and hits the top of his head on the bottom. This frequently causes fractures of the spine and possibly spinal cord injury.
It is also commonly used to describe a specific strength of materials known as their uniaxial compressive or tensile strength and also to find the variation of their strength with increasing confining pressure (as used in triaxial testing).

Reasons of positive axial shift in steam turbine?
Sudden change of load Sudden drop of vacuum Sudden drop of Main steam temperature.
What is difference between bar and rod?
ROD is used for axial loading and torsion, but BAR can be used for axial, torsion as well as bending loads....
What is axial or longitudinal stress?
Axial Stress: A tension or compression stress created in a structural member by the application of a lengthwise axial load.Definition Copyright ©1989 CRC Press LLC. All rights reserved.Examples of tensile axial stress include a chain carrying a load and tension cables on a bridge. Examples of compressive axial stress include decorative columns in architecture and the steel structure of a high rise building.Read more: What_is_axial_stressLongitudinal Stress: In continum mechanics, stress is a measure of the average force per unit area of a surface within a deformable body on which internal forces
Designing an axial fan for aircraft?
what do you mean? axial compressor (or) axial turbine? Their missions are different. Design for axial compressor or turbine, must be consider their performance. The performance is characterized by - pressure ratio, rotational speed and efficiency. The details of how to design axial fan, are very complex.
Which gear type does not have axial thrust?
herring bone gear (Double helical ) doesn't axial thrust
