What are examples of appications of resonace?

Antennas are tuned (resonance) to the radio signals they are receiving; glasses can be shattered by sound resonant to the glasses structure; bridges can collaspse due to resonant marching; radiation can be absorbed in treatment resonant to the cells structure.


What is pns steel?

PNS Steel stands for Philippine National Standard Steel. It refers to steel products that meet the standards set by the Bureau of Philippine Standards in terms of composition, properties, and quality. PNS Steel is used in various construction and infrastructure projects in the Philippines to ensure safety and structural integrity.


How to calculate an excellent structural efficiency score?

To calculate an excellent structural efficiency score, you would typically assess the ratio of the structure's weight to its load-bearing capacity. A higher load-bearing capacity relative to the structure's weight indicates better efficiency. Factors such as material strength, design optimization, and construction techniques play crucial roles in determining the structural efficiency score.


What is the ratio of the elastic modulus of structural timber in longitudinal direction to that in the transverse direction?

The ratio of elastic modulus of structural timber in the longitudinal direction to that in the transverse direction is typically around 10:1. This means that timber is much stiffer and stronger in the direction parallel to the grain compared to perpendicular to the grain. This anisotropic behavior should be considered in design and construction to ensure structural integrity.


What is the natural frequency of glass and how does it affect its structural integrity?

The natural frequency of glass is the frequency at which it vibrates when disturbed. When glass is exposed to vibrations at its natural frequency, it can lead to resonance, causing it to shatter. This can compromise the structural integrity of the glass, making it more prone to breakage.
