Part 4: Load types

Depending on the point of use, installations may be subject to varying and changing stresses, vibrations, seismic loads or rapid high-energy shock loads in addition to the static load. For example, the fixings of handrails, industrial machines, cranes and various antennas and masts are susceptible to such dynamic loads.

The direction and magnitude of the force remain constant.
Kuormitustyypit_jatkuvasti-muuttuva-75x75.png Dynamic load > Continuously varying:
The direction and magnitude of the force change regularly.
Kuormitustyypit_pulssikuorma-75x75.png Dynamic load > Pulse load:
The direction and magnitude of the force change irregularly.
Kuormitustyypit_iskukuorma-75x75.png Dynamic load > Shock load:
The direction and magnitude of the force change randomly.
