Reversed load

The problem must be simplified considerably to permit solution in the context of this book. Suppose an equilateral triangle is subjected to some loads in the vertical direction as in Figure 7-22. A load P of 100 lb (445 N) is applied to the top joint, and that load can go in either the downward or upward direction (in the diagram, not in space ). This truss must take its reversible load with, say, a factor of safety of two against whatever event would cause it to fail. What material, size, and weight of truss element would you select to satisfy the design requirements that include building the structure for the lowest cost ... 

A method for the accurate online ultratrace analysis of palladium in environmental samples (road dust and contaminated soil samples) by ICP-MS after separation of interferent cations by cation exchange chromatography was introduced by Hann and co-workers.80 Palladium was selectively adsorbed online onto a C18 microcolumn which had been reversibly loaded with a complexing agent... 

By using the reverse loading sequence thrombin could interact with heparin/antithrombin III complex or with heparin alone. The colour yield obtained was similar in this sequence to that obtained by only thrombin loading, indicating that none of the thrombin on heparin-PVA gel had been neutralized by the heparin/antithrombin III complex.

Although it is a modifying factor for (variable) actions, it is the main means of regulating such actions to allow for changes in material properties resulting from load effects, e.g. cyclic loads, fatigue or reversing loads, and impact loads.

According to equation (10.2), reversed loads correspond to negative R ratios, pulsating loads to positive values . Table 10.1 summarises the most common R ratios. Most important are the cases of fully reversed cycling (with (Tm = 0 or R = —1), of zero-to-tension cycling (with a mm = 0 or i = 0), and of zero-to-compression cycling (with (Tmax = 0 or i = —oo). Therefore, these cases are frequently used in tables.

Under reversed loads sufficiently intense to create hackles in both directions, this very long life is lost since a saw-tooth fracture surface is created. Restricting the peak strain in the adhesive is even more important then it is not just a matter of locally reduced stiffness, it is a matter of strengths locally reduced to zero. 

In only few applications is the loading tensile in nature and it is more likely to contain an element of flexural or reverse loading. So the loading mode does need to be assessed in the design as well as an appropriate failure criterion.
