| 21. | The material of the spring is thereby subjected to a bending moment, either reducing or increasing the helical radius.
|
| 22. | Engineering descriptions of the computation of bending moments can be confusing because of unexplained sign conventions and implicit assumptions.
|
| 23. | A bending moment manifests itself as a tension and a compression force, acting as a couple in a beam.
|
| 24. | In a bending moment diagram, it is the point at which the bending moment curve intersects with the zero line.
|
| 25. | Here, z is the distance from the neutral axis to a point of interest; and M is the bending moment.
|
| 26. | At this spacing the main support rings are designed for the sum of suction pressure stresses & support bending moments.
|
| 27. | So no, the pivots would not be at the points of zero bending moment, they would be at the supports.
|
| 28. | In a bending moment diagram, it is the point at which the bending moment curve intersects with the zero line.
|
| 29. | This equation allows a structural engineer to assess the stress in a structural element when subjected to a bending moment.
|
| 30. | Because of these very strong and rigid joints, some of the bending moment in the rafters is transferred to the columns.
