Designing structures that dilate rapidly in both tension and compression would benefit devices such as smart filters, actuators or fasteners. This property however requires an unusual Poisson ...

Tensegrity describes a system that relies on cables under tension and rigidity of elements capable of acting under both tension and compression simultaneously.

I believe there is no better way to understand the relationship between tension and compression than to analyze how a suspension bridge works. Perhaps there is no better suspension ...

Therefore, notched testing continues to be used to experimentally determine these strength reductions. In fact, open-hole tension and compression tests are commonly used to calibrate progressive ...

We decided to revisit an economical, functional suspension lift that's relatively easy to install, the shackle flip. There are two types of shackles, tension and compression, and both have pros ...

HBK has added an IO-Link interface option to its U9C (tension and compression, right) and C9C (compression only, below left) force sensors. Described as miniature by the company, versions of the ...
