Sentences with phrase «constant braking force»

Nonlinear elasticity that would be desirable for an ideal climbing rope because the tension on the rope plateaus over a range of strains, so there is a constant braking force on a falling climber, for at least part of the fall

Milton says that in addition to constant braking force, shape memory materials have a property called hysteresis, which in an ideal climbing rope «means the material will absorb a lot of energy, so that when it stretches, instead of bouncing to where you were before, you would fall, then it would retract slowly» instead of jerking you upward.

Dick notes that a rope made of existing memory shape materials would start to exert a constant braking force on a climber when it reaches its full length, and that braking force would last until it is stretched to 108 percent of its normal length.

Not exact matches

«If you are in a car and want to stop within a certain fixed, short distance — without too much jerk — it's best to apply the brakes evenly rather than all at the end so passengers feel a constant deceleration force,» he says.

Dynamometers achieve this constant angular velocity by constant monitoring and subsequent increases or decreases the braking forces applied to the moving arm of the machine (Baltzopoulos, 2007).
