To achieve a catenary curve, suspend a chain from two posts; it will hang naturally in a catenary curve.
12.
She developed an extensive knowledge of strength of materials, stress analysis, cable construction, and calculating catenary curves through Washington's teachings.
13.
The optimal shape for a masonry dome of equal thickness is a revolved catenary curve, similar to the curve of a parabola.
14.
In free-hanging chains, the force exerted is uniform with respect to length of the chain, and so the chain follows the catenary curve.
15.
Under her husband's guidance, Emily studied higher mathematics, the calculations of catenary curves, the strengths of materials, bridge specifications, and the intricacies of cable construction.
16.
But if this is a heavy steel cable, it might easily be much heavier than the rider-which would make the catenary curve a better model.
17.
This is done by a catenary curve : Catenary arches are strong, as they redirect the vertical force of gravity into compression forces pressing along the arch's curve.
18.
Upon her husband's illness, Emily Warren Roebling assumed her husband's duties at the project site, and taught herself about material properties, cable construction, calculating catenary curves, and the like.
19.
This technique creates an underlying shape out of single points; then, it parses through each set of three of these points and maps a catenary curve to the set.
20.
When the rode is slack, the catenary curve presents a lower angle of pull on the anchor or mooring device than would be the case if it were nearly straight.
