load

A structural load or structural action is a force, deformation, or acceleration applied to structural elements. A load causes stress, deformation, and displacement in a structure. Structural analysis, a discipline in engineering, analyzes the effects of loads on structures and structural elements. Excess load may cause structural failure, so this should be considered and controlled during the design of a structure. Particular mechanical structures—such as aircraft, satellites, rockets, space stations, ships, and submarines—are subject to their own particular structural loads and actions. Engineers often evaluate structural loads based upon published regulations, contracts, or specifications. Accepted technical standards are used for acceptance testing and inspection.

    Quick load and Gordon's reloading tool

    I bought a windows laptop just to use these windows only programs. Very interesting so far. Still waiting for quickload software in the mail, been messing with GRT. seems about right so far. My suspicions that data for 7.62x54r/rl15 is on the conservative side (hornady max load had zero...

    New Marlin 1894 .44 Mag bullet, load limitations???

    I filled out the 4473 Form for one of the new 1894's in .44 mag on Friday, and I'm wondering about bullet weight, load limitations as there are some pretty potent factory offerings out there these days. I'm guessing the Underwood .44 Remington Mag +P+ 340 Grain Lead Flat Nose might not be an...

    .38 Defense load advice

    I have a S&W #64 K frame and I want to develope a good lead defense load, I can't decide between 120gn or 158gn lead hollowpoints, I always believed the lighter lead bullet would expand more with higher velocity but the FBI load used a 158gn HP. So which is better for a defensive load? Also...
