Most bridges stay aloft because of the relationship between two forces: compression and tension. Compression can best be described as materials pushing against each other.

During embryogenesis, a variety of cell populations actively migrate and change their positions, generating various types of force (e.g., traction force, compression force) that influence the ...

As a coupling flexes, it generates forces at the shaft support bearings. Knowing how different coupling types affect these bearing forces will help in selecting couplings for a drive system.

New research has found that a type of automatic chest compression is more effective to carry out CPR in space than the ‘handstand method’ that is currently recommended in emergency protocols for ...
