Cantilever in a sentence as a noun

Floor joists are cantilevered from the girders for the same reason.

I have avid shorty cantilever breaks on the front.

He used the incredible weight of the building on the backspan to increase the length of the cantilever.

There would be a large cantilever arm trying to support a large part of the rider's weight, and it would likely break under the stress.

It's flimsy sheet metal on the plug side with a nice big cantilever, and flimsy sheet metal soldered to a PCB on the other.

Those are a different kind of structural concrete cantilever.

All headphone contacts buckle, and that's not enough to determine whether they're cantilever or pogo pins.

It is much simpler, without CAD, to make a smooth reinforced concrete dome/cantilever like the TWA building, or an arch like the Theme Building.

I can't speak for civil engineers, but in mechanical engineering no one uses FEA to solve a cantilever beam.

Can this thing solve toy simulation problems like Stokes flow around a sphere, stress in a cantilever beam, or even a van der Pol oscillator?

The USB-C connector is surface-mounted, so that makes it super easy to be torqued off by the massive cantilever that is the USB-C plug.

If your back pedal braked has become fully dysfunctional and your consumer grade front wheel cantilever brakes is all you have left for a 20km descent, good luck!

Cantilever in a sentence as a verb

Such composites are stiff enough to avoid much of the "settling" of a metal and wood structure under such immense compression and cantilever loads.

I'd bet money that such cantilevered footings are what are underneath many or most of those columns you see under those houses, the rest of the columns sitting directly atop the pads.

Any cantilever forces were absorbed by metal casing, not PCB. Super reliable.

The article says "The foundation of the Tiny House uses cantilevers, seesaw-like joists that help save wood and concrete and actually make the house stronger than a typical foundation would.

Not all those houses had footings directly underneath the permitter; the joists and walls might cantilever, while the footings were still basic and not tied together like with the cantilevered footing system.

They don't have to actually pump any water in this design, and the boat is essentially counterbalanced by the cantilever design so the rotational force needed to turn the wheel would be minimal.

The spring rotates with the rigid shaft and applies lateral force to the pointing stick via a collar attached to the pointing stick, the direction of the applied force rotating with the rigid shaft and cantilever spring.

A cantilever spring arm is rigidly connected at one end to the rigid shaft so that it rotates with the rigid shaft and is mechanically coupled under lateral spring tension at its other end to the pointing stick.

The vibe I got was along the lines of "this is so bad that a high school physics student knowing the thermal expansion laws, and a sophomore college student who knows how cantilever beams work could tell you this project is fundamentally fishy".

I was bored to tears and rarely attended class and spent all my time chasing girls and scraped by in some of the "write down from memory the formula for stress in a cantilever beam" type examinations by deriving enough stuff from scratch to get a passing grade.

The investigators themselves admitted they were surprised to learn that the design of the cantilever, combined with 'sharp pointy rocks on Mars that have been stuck in place for millions of years', as well as what is a near-obvious flaw in the chevron design, produced the current conditions.

As an example of an integrated, self-powered application, the researchers have created an oscillating cantilever beam that is capable of consistent, periodic oscillations over very long time periods without the need for refueling.
