| | | | (...) Well my further education centered on computing, not the mechanical science's, and I knew what torsion and bending we're before hand. I bet a lot of technic readers didn't know what axial strenght was either. Steve (23 years ago, 5-Dec-01, to lugnet.technic)

| | | | (...) You're right! I don't know what "axial strenght" is either. But I do know what "axial strength" is ;-) There are two ways to load a member axially: tension and compression (i.e. pulling and squashing). I had been talking about axial tension, (...)

I think I'm with Steve on this, having had no mechanical engineering education tends to mean I know what things are, just not what to call them :-) That's a nice tractor BTW TJ, I'm looking forward to seeing more photos of that (and your (...)

It will be a good reference for me in the future whenever I start spouting out these technical descriptions of things. (...) Thanks! It will be a long while before (...)
