Strut
A strut is a structural component commonly found in engineering, aeronautics, architecture and anatomy. Struts generally work by resisting longitudinal compression, but they may also serve in tension. Human anatomy Part of the functionality of the clavicle is to serve as a strut between the scapula and sternum, resisting forces that would otherwise bring the upper limb close to the thorax. Keeping the upper limb away from the thorax is vital for its range of motion. Complete lack of clavicles may be seen in cleidocranial dysostosis, and the abnormal proximity of the shoulders to the median plane exemplifies the clavicle's importance as a strut. Architecture and construction Strut is a common name in timber framing for a support or brace of scantlings lighter than a post. Frequently struts are found in roof framing from either a tie beam or a king post to a principal rafter. Struts may be vertically plumb or leaning (then called canted, raking, or angled) and may be straight ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Her Strut
"Her Strut" is a song written by Bob Seger that was first released on his 1980 album '' Against the Wind''. It was also released as the B-side of his single " The Horizontal Bop." The song was inspired by feminist icon Jane Fonda. Music and lyrics Like "The Horizontal Bop", and unlike the more successful previous singles from ''Against the Wind'', "Her Strut" is a fast-paced rocker. Journalist Bill King described it as being "screechy voiced" and said it reminded him of the Eagles' song " The Long Run". Roy Trakin of '' The Daily News'' felt it lacked the drive of the more popular, slower songs from ''Against the Wind''.
