AI Thread Summary
Tensile force refers to a pulling or stretching force exerted on an object. In the context of structures like the Pantheon of Rome, tensile forces can be observed in materials under tension, such as cables or beams. This concept is similar to the forces experienced in a tug of war, where opposing teams apply tensile forces to a rope. Understanding tensile force is crucial for analyzing structural integrity and material behavior in architectural designs. The discussion highlights the importance of grasping this fundamental concept in the study of engineering and architecture.

I am doing a bit of fun research about the Pantheon of Rome and I ran into the term tensile force and I can't get a clear definition anywhere.

Basically a pulling or stretching force .

Like in a tug of war . The two opposing teams are applying tensile forces to the ends of the rope .

Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'

My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...

Thread 'Questions about the Tesla turbine'

Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
