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.
What is Tensile Force? - Researching Pantheon of Rome
Click For Summary
SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the definition of tensile force, specifically in the context of structural engineering and physics. Tensile force is defined as a pulling or stretching force, exemplified by the dynamics of a tug of war where opposing teams exert tensile forces on a rope. This fundamental concept is crucial for understanding the structural integrity of constructions like the Pantheon of Rome, where tensile forces play a significant role in maintaining stability.
PREREQUISITES- Basic understanding of physics principles, particularly forces.
- Familiarity with structural engineering concepts.
