Beam (structure)
A beam is a structural element that primarily resists loads applied laterally to the beam's axis.

Bending
In applied mechanics, bending (also known as flexure) characterizes the behavior of a slender structural element subjected to an external load applied perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis of the element.

Compression member
Compression members are structural elements that are pushed together or carry a load, more technically they are subjected only to axial compressive forces.
New!!: Structural element and Compression member · See more »
Compressive stress
In long, slender structural elements — such as columns or truss bars — an increase of compressive force F leads to structural failure due to buckling at lower stress than the compressive strength.

Concrete slab
A concrete slab is a common structural element of modern buildings.
New!!: Structural element and Concrete slab · See more »
Cylinder
A cylinder (from Greek κύλινδρος – kulindros, "roller, tumbler"), has traditionally been a three-dimensional solid, one of the most basic of curvilinear geometric shapes.

Deck (bridge)
Deck, is the surface of a bridge, and is one structural element of the superstructure of a bridge.

Eyebar
In structural engineering and construction, an eyebar is a straight bar, usually of metal, with a hole ("eye") at each end for fixing to other components.

Guy-wire
A guy-wire, guy-line, or guy-rope, also known as simply a guy, is a tensioned cable designed to add stability to a free-standing structure.

Load-bearing wall
A load-bearing wall or bearing wall is a wall that is an active structural element of a building, that is, it bears the weight of the elements above said wall, resting upon it by conducting its weight to a foundation structure.

Membrane theory of shells
The membrane theory of shells, or membrane theory for short, describes the mechanical properties of shells when twisting and bending moments are small enough to be negligible.

Shear stress
A shear stress, often denoted by (Greek: tau), is the component of stress coplanar with a material cross section.
New!!: Structural element and Shear stress · See more »
Shear wall
In structural engineering, a shear wall is a structural system composed of braced panels (also known as shear panels) to counter the effects of lateral load acting on a structure.

Stressed member engine
A stressed member engine is a vehicle engine used as an active structural element of the chassis to transmit forces and torques, rather than being passively contained by the chassis with anti-vibration mounts.

Structural analysis
Structural analysis is the determination of the effects of loads on physical structures and their components.
New!!: Structural element and Structural analysis · See more »
Strut
A strut is a structural component commonly found in engineering, aeronautics, architecture and anatomy.
New!!: Structural element and Strut · See more »
Tension (physics)
In physics, tension may be described as the pulling force transmitted axially by the means of a string, cable, chain, or similar one-dimensional continuous object, or by each end of a rod, truss member, or similar three-dimensional object; tension might also be described as the action-reaction pair of forces acting at each end of said elements.

Thin-shell structure
Thin-shell structures are also called plate and shell structures.
New!!: Structural element and Thin-shell structure · See more »
Tie (engineering)
A tie, strap, tie rod, eyebar, guy-wire, suspension cables, or wire ropes, are examples of linear structural components designed to resist tension.
New!!: Structural element and Tie (engineering) · See more »
Tie rod
A tie rod is a slender structural unit used as a tie and (in most applications) capable of carrying tensile loads only.
New!!: Structural element and Tie rod · See more »
Wire rope
Steel wire rope (right hand langs lay) Wire rope is several strands of metal wire twisted into a helix forming a composite "rope", in a pattern known as "laid rope".
