What is the strongest geometric prism?
The strongest geometric shape is probably the triangular prism.
Which 3-d shapes are strongest?
I think the strongest 3D shape is a cylinder.
Is the star the strongest shape?
No. On the lines to rigidity basis, a triangle is.
What shape made out of straight pieces is strongest or most rigid?
The most rigid shape that you can make out of straight pieces is the triangle.
How are triangles used in engineering?
triangles are the second strongest shape next to the arch
What is the second strongest geometric shape?
It really depends on what kind of strength you are looking for, a triangle is the strongest shape when rigidity is what is needed (so when you want to have a strong cantilever structure or a general structure that can resist a variety of stresses). It's difficult to say what might be the second strongest shape in such circumstances, but maybe a triangle that is not equilateral, but this is an over simplification. An octet-truss is the strongest structure for cantilevering because of the strength of the triangle However if its 'hardness' you're looking for, or resistance to purely compression, a tessellation of hexagons is your strongest shape, and therefore perhapse an irregular hexagon is your second strongest. A lorimerlite framework is the strongest truss under compression because of the strength of hexagons.
Which is the strongest bridge structure - truss cantilever suspension or arch?
The arch is the strongest structure. The reason the others are sometimes used is the span is so long the arch isn't practicle.
What shape the strongest bones?
hello i have put this so people can learn the shape of the strongest bone is... a weired shape .
What geometric shape is strongest?
A sphere.
What is the strongest geometric prism?
The strongest geometric shape is probably the triangular prism.
Which 3-d shapes are strongest?
I think the strongest 3D shape is a cylinder.
When was the first cantilever bridge made?
The Niagara Cantilever Bridge or Michigan Central Railway Cantilever Bridge
Why is triangle the strongest shape?
It depends on the circumstances. A sphere is the strongest shape for resisting uniform compression from all angles, either when their is a high pressure on the outside or inside (hence the use of dome shaped space suit helmets or dome shaped submarine windows). A triangle is the most rigid shape however, so if you want to cantilever an object, a series of tessellating triangles would provide the strongest structure (hence the widespread use of octet-trusses - the strongest known structure for cantilever stresses). A hexagon is the strongest shape when packed together in a tessellation, but only for compressive forces (hence the ubiquitous hexagonal forms in nature such as the bees honeycombs). The three dimensional equivalent of hexagonal grid is a lorimerlite structure, which is the strongest truss for resisting compressive forces.
What is the most common shape of tunnels?
An inverted U shape is the most common tunnel shape as this is the strongest.
What is the plural of cantilever?
The noun cantilever has a normal plural, cantilevers.
Which shape is found most often within a structure?
Triangle. Its the strongest geometric shape
What is the strongest shape underground Catenary or Hemisphere?
sphere
