Chair Biological Systems Engineering (ABSTRACT) Metal-plate-connected (MPC) splice joints were tested in combined tension and bending to generate data that were used in the development of a design procedure for determining the steel net-section strength of bottom chord splice joints of MPC wood trusses. Several common wood truss splice joint configurations were tested at varying levels of combined tension and bending loading. The joint configurations were 2x4 lumber with 20-gauge truss plates‚ 2x6

quality control‚ and to predict how a material will react under other types of forces. Properties that are directly measured via a tensile test are ultimate tensile strength‚ maximum elongation and reduction in area. From these measurements the following properties can also be determined: young’s modulus‚ poison ratio‚ yield strength‚ and strain hardening characteristics. 3.The tension tester A machine which applies a tensile force (a force applied in opposite directions) to the specimen‚ and

Cardiorespiratory endurance is the ability of one’s respiratory system (the heart and lungs) to provide oxygen and fuel for our bodies during sustained physical activity. This ability helps prevent any heart related illnesses

Today there is an implausible range of physical activities on offer‚ from the commercially motivated activities that are enjoyable and challenging‚ such as indoor rock climbing‚ to the more traditional exercise types. The challenge for the individual is to find an exercise type that meets their fitness needs and that is enjoyable. Many individual fitness activities are available‚ some which require specific knowledge and skills. Raised awareness of health has led to the stimulation of many fitness

cholesterol. | Muscular Strength | Having muscular strength is being able to build the strength of your muscles to be at their fullest potential. | Ways to incorporate muscular strength in your life includes resistance training like weight lifting on a consistent basis for two to three times a week‚ approximately 10 repetitions of eight exercises. It is important to give yourself a break in between resistance training days to avoid injury. | Benefits of muscular strength include‚ but are not

Muscular Strength: is the amount of force a muscle can produce. Examples would be the bench press‚ leg press or bicep curl. The push up test is most often used to test muscular strength. Muscular Endurance: is the ability of the muscles to perform continuous without fatiguing. Examples would be cycling‚ step machines and elliptical machines. The

Evaluation of the Components of Fitness and an Analysis to Their Relevance of Touch Football Touch football is a type of football in which the ball carrier is downed by touching instead of tackling. In the game of touch football‚ there are many different fitness components that relate to specific touch positions. This essay will evaluate the components of fitness and analysis their relevance to touch football. To complete this‚ a series of fitness tests were done to help determine my suitability

The study was conducted for 60 years in Cologne‚ Germany. It was proven that young people of any age who participated in resistance training at least twice a week for a month or more showed greater strength gains than those who worked out only once a week or for shorter periods.

HIGH TECHNOLOGY FIBRES FOR TECHNICAL TEXTILES 1 INTRODUCTION Human life is surrounded by hundreds of textile fibres either in the form of clothes‚ interior textiles or in the form of high performance technical textiles made of conventional or high technology fibres for various applications. A textile fibre is usually defined as a flexible‚ macroscopically homogenous cylindrical body mainly with circular cross- section having a high ratio of length to diameter (typically 100-3000: 1).
