Tension

But Campbell said conflict would represent a failure of all other options, urging “all parties to areas of international tension to find other ways to resolve that tension”.

Some opportunities for tension-building are sacrificed for expository chatter, and the final half-hour lacks the tension of the middle section.

It is the creating of tension and then the alleviating of tension.

Also the sexual tension between Steed and Gale is quite different from the tension between Steed and Peel.

An alternative view suggests that the optimum tension for power depends on the player: the faster and more accurately a player can swing their racquet, the higher the tension for maximum power.

An over-reinforced beam is one in which the tension capacity of the tension steel is greater than the combined compression capacity of the concrete and the compression steel (over-reinforced at tensile face).

A singly reinforced beam is one in which the concrete element is only reinforced near the tensile face and the reinforcement, called tension steel, is designed to resist the tension.

As it relies on gravity to close the cymbals, the drop clutch gives the player no control over the tension holding them together, and supplies only minimal tension.

Capos are clipped onto the fretboard with the aid of spring tension, or in some models, elastic tension.

Diagram of forces acting on a segment of a catenary from c to r. The forces are the tension T 0 at c, the tension T at r, and the weight of the chain (0, −λgs).

In 1983 Denis Cummings re-introduced a safe tow system that was designed to tow through the centre of mass and had a Gauge that displayed the towing tension, it also integrated a 'weak link' that broke when the safe tow tension was exceeded.

In another type, known as a back-tension release, the string is automatically released when drawn to a pre-determined tension.

In practice, the theoretical tension acting on the belt or rope calculated by the belt friction equation can be compared to the maximum tension the belt can support.

Macalloy threaded tension bar at Mariinsky Theatre in Russia Macalloy in Dinnington is a world-leader in threaded tension bar.

Modern winch tows typically utilize hydraulic systems designed to regulate line tension, this reduces scenarios for lock out as strong winds result in additional length of rope spooling out rather than direct tension on the tow line.

Once the piece reaches its sub-climax, the listener needs a moment of relaxation to clear up the tension, which is obtained by playing a consonant chord that resolves the tension of the previous chords.

Pressure is now obsolete but tension is still used, for example within the phrase " high tension " (HT) which is commonly used in thermionic valve ( vacuum tube ) based electronics.

Second, integral reinforcing steel gives modern concrete assemblies great strength in tension, whereas Roman concrete could depend only upon the strength of the concrete bonding to resist tension.

Surface tension can vary because of inhomogeneous composition of the substances, and/or the temperature-dependence of surface tension forces.

Tension Pitch can be adjusted by varying the tension of the string.
