Bones of the Upper Limb: Radius
1.9K
The radius is longer of the two bones that make up the human antebrachium or forearm. At the proximal end, the radius articulates with the capitulum of the humerus and the radial notch of the ulna to form the elbow joint. At the distal end, the radius articulates with the ulna via the ulnar notch, forming the distal radioulnar joint. Distally, the radius also attaches to the carpal wrist bones (scaphoid and lunate) to form the radiocarpal joint.

Radius of Gyration of an Area
1.3K
The second moment of area, also known as the moment of inertia of area, is a crucial factor in understanding an object's resistance against bending deformation, or stiffness. To accurately estimate the second moment of area along any axis, one needs to concentrate all areas associated with that object into a thin strip, which should be placed parallel to that particular axis.

Relation between Poisson's ratio, Modulus of Elasticity and Modulus of Rigidity
221
Deformation occurs in axial and transverse directions when an axial load is applied to a slender bar. This deformation impacts the cubic element within the bar, transforming it into either a rectangular parallelepiped or a rhombus, contingent on its orientation. This transformation process induces shearing strain. Axial loading elicits both shearing and normal strains. Applying an axial load instigates equal normal and shearing stresses on elements oriented at a 45° angle to the load axis.
