5. Some of the most common modes of loading are recognized to be: (a) tension (e.g. load on a tie rod), (b) compression (e.g. load on a column), (c) bending (e.g. load on a beam), (d) torsion (e.g. load on a shaft), and (e) bi-axial tension or bi-axial compression (e.g. load on a pressure vessel). Identify which of these modes of loading is (are) dominant in the following components: i. Fizzy drinks container ii. Overhead electric cable iii. Shoe soles iv. Wind turbine blade v. Climbing rope vi. Bicycle fork vii. Aircraft fuselage viii. Diagonal members in a Pratt truss ix. Shelf of a book case x. Propane tank for barbeque xi. Car key xii. Diagonal members in a Howe truss xiii. Gear teeth xiv. Oar of a rowing boat Note: use words when answering these questions, e.g. do not answer in a format that reads like: iii (b), (c); instead give your answers in a format that looks like: Shoe soles: Compression, Bending.
