bending force

For example, reinforced concrete has resistance to pressure and to bending forces.

The subsequent bending forces within the support columns were too large, and the structure collapsed under its own weight.

I imagine this would put a bending force on the bed; is this something you'd avoid in practice?

The greenstick fracture pattern occurs as a result of bending forces.

The bars were constantly under a great deal of stress, due to normal bending forces in the hull.

Instead it is resilient, snapping back in place after a bending force is removed.

Punches are usually attached to the ram of the machine by clamps and move to produce the bending force.

It protects the lateral side from an inside bending force (a varus force).

Typically, a general purpose machine has a bending force available of around 25 tonnes per metre of length.

Works by resisting bending forces.

While an equivalent increase in wingspan would be more effective than a winglet of the same length, the bending force becomes a greater factor.

These compressive and bending forces are carried down to the ground by the diagonal-braced frame (with added outrigger trusses).

Justen concentrated on bending light, on bending force around himself, and the cat vanished.

The classic ladder chassis is stiff against sideways forces, but weak against vertical bending forces.

Only when the bending force is much smaller than the tension of the string, will leave it wave-speed (and the overtones pitched as harmonics) unchanged.

The connections between the columns and the rafters are designed to be moment-resistant, i.e. they can carry bending forces.

George Beres, Art bending force, angle occur.

This was based on two fallacies: firstly that the only forces on the beam were simple bending forces in the plane of the web.

Initially, the bridge called for a very shallow 10:1 span-to-rise ratio for the main arch, creating significant axial and bending forces.

Dr. Nelson realized at the outset that a 10-meter glass mirror made in one piece would be far too heavy to resist the bending forces of gravity.

When loaded by a bending force, the beam bends so that the inner surface is in compression and the outer surface is in tension.

However, for DNA segments less than the persistence length, the bending force is approximately constant and behaviour deviates from the worm-like chain predictions.

This avoids the friction and 'play' caused by a pivot, and the slight bending force of the spring merely adds to the pendulum's restoring force.

The Vierendeel truss, unlike common pin-jointed trusses, imposes significant bending forces upon its members - but this in turn allows the elimination of many diagonal elements.

Therefore, in climbing animals, the serratus anterior supports the scapula against the reaction forces of the free limb and exerts high bending forces on the ribs.
