Loading gravitational

At the physiological level, gravitational loading on skeletal tissues is known to be important. After space missions of varying periods, histomor-phometric studies of bones from rats provided insight into the time course of cancellous bone cellular events these events include a transient increase in resorption and sustained decrease in bone formation (Vico et al., 1998). Bone loss in rats occurred first in weight-bearing bones, and the time... 

The glazing (cover plate) material for thermal solar collectors has to be able to resist wind, snow, and gravitational loads over the range of temperatures achieved by the collector. This can be in the range of —40 to 120°C in normal operation and as high as 200°C when the fluid is not flowing in the absorber. 

Received by DSC results for the samples SI, S2 and S3 show that at the gravitational load of the fibers the attenuation and the pa-actical disappearance of the effects of softening and cold crystallization follow monotonic trend with the temperatme increasing, while for the drawn samples the temperature dependence is weaker, seems secondary. For these samples has a stronger dependence of the observed effects from the mechanical influence, respectively... 

The purpose of future research is by comparison between the gravitational load and different type of orientation drawing and thermal treatment to choose the optimal combination between them. 

The minimum target reliabilities are as shown in Table 4. The design parameters must satisfy in this case, additional constraints. The steel reinforcement ratios must provide adequate resistance to gravitational loads, as per Eq. (8), and also provide a minimum ductility for the beam cross-sections, according to... 

If the out-of-balance is less than the critical value, then the synchronous orbital motion at 1780 rev/min has an amplitude less than the eccentricity and the out-of-balance force is less than the steady gravitational load on the bearing. 

For creep testing, gravitational loading is usually used to provide the constant force, with specimen extension monitored by linear displacement transducers. An example is shown in Figure 6.2. 

Assume that silicon will fracture when the axial stress reaches 1 GPa. Find the maximum length of a vertical silicon rod that, under the action of its own gravitational load, will not exceed this fracture stress. Assume that the density of silicon is p = 2331 kg/m and that the acceleration due to gravity is g = 9.8 m/s [9]. 

Reflector blanks, especially large ones, require special measures to maintain dimensional (surface) stability. The blank must be adequately supported to retain its shape under varying gravitational loads. It must also be stable during normal temperature cycles, and it should not heat the air in front of the mirror because that causes thermal turbulence and worsens the seeing. A mirror-to-air temperature difference less than about 0.5°C is usually acceptable. The support problem is a mechanical design consideration. Thermal stability may be approached in any of several ways ...
