Burr Truss
The Burr Arch Truss—or, simply, Burr Truss or Burr Arch—is a combination of an arch and a ''multiple kingpost'' truss design. It was invented in 1804 by Theodore Burr, patented on April 3, 1817, and used in bridges, usually covered bridges. Design The design principle behind the Burr arch truss is that the arch should be capable of bearing the entire load on the bridge while the truss keeps the bridge rigid. Even though the kingpost truss alone is capable of bearing a load, this was done because it is impossible to evenly balance a dynamic load crossing the bridge between the two parts. The opposite view is also held, based on computer models, that the truss performs the majority of the load bearing and the arch provides the stability. Either way, the combination of the arch and the truss provides a more stable bridge capable of supporting greater weight than either the arch or truss alone. The U.S. state of Indiana has a large collection of Burr Truss bridges. Of i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Burr (edge)
A burr is a raised edge or small piece of material that remains attached to a workpiece after a modification process. It is usually an unwanted piece of material and is removed with a deburring tool in a process called deburring. Burrs are most commonly created by machining operations, such as grinding, drilling, milling, engraving or turning. It may be present in the form of a fine wire on the edge of a freshly sharpened tool or as a raised portion of a surface; this type of burr is commonly formed when a hammer strikes a surface. Deburring accounts for a significant portion of manufacturing costs. In the printmaking technique of drypoint, burr, which gives a rich fuzzy quality to the engraved line, is highly desirable—the great problem with the drypoint medium is that the burr rapidly diminishes after as few as ten impressions are printed. Types There are three types of burrs that can be formed from machining operations: ''Poisson burr'', ''rollover burr'', and ''breako ...

Burr Puzzle
A burr puzzle is an interlocking puzzle consisting of notched sticks, combined to make one Three-dimensional space, three-dimensional, usually Symmetry, symmetrical unit. These puzzles are traditionally made of wood, but versions made of plastic or metal can also be found. Quality burr puzzles are usually precision-made for easy sliding and accurate fitting of the pieces. In recent years the definition of "burr" is expanding, as puzzle designers use this name for puzzles not necessarily of stick-based pieces. History The term "burr" is first mentioned in a 1928 book by Edwin Wyatt, but the text implies that it was commonly used before. The term is attributed to the finished shape of many of these puzzles, resembling a seed burr (fruit), burr. The origin of burr puzzles is unknown. The first known record appears in a 1698 engraving used as a Book frontispiece, frontispiece page of Chambers's Cyclopaedia. Later records can be found in Germany, German catalogs from the late 18th cent ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Burr Distribution
In probability theory, statistics and econometrics, the Burr Type XII distribution or simply the Burr distribution is a continuous probability distribution for a non-negative random variable. It is also known as the Singh–Maddala distribution and is one of a number of different distributions sometimes called the "generalized log-logistic distribution". Definitions Probability density function The Burr (Type XII) distribution has probability density function: : \begin f(x;c,k) & = ck\frac \\[6pt] f(x;c,k,\lambda) & = \frac \left( \frac \right)^ \left[1 + \left(\frac\right)^c\right]^ \end The \lambda parameter scales the underlying variate and is a positive real. Cumulative distribution function The cumulative distribution function is: :F(x;c,k) = 1-\left(1+x^c\right)^ :F(x;c,k,\lambda) = 1 - \left[1 + \left(\frac\right)^c \right]^ Applications It is most commonly used to model household income, see for example: Household income in the United States#Income distr ...

Butch Cut
A brush cut is a type of haircut in which the hair on the top of the head is cut short in every dimension. The top and the upper portion of the back and sides are cut the same length, generally between , following the contour of the head. The hair below the upper portion of the sides and back of the head is tapered Regular haircut#Short, short or Regular haircut#Semi-short, semi-short with a clipper, in the same manner as a crew cut.

A brush that is cut at inch or longer on top, and especially one that shows natural curl, depending on length, may be referred to as a short brush cut or brush cut. Brush cuts are traditionally groomed with hair control wax, commonly referred to as brush wax. Culture A ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
