Longitudinal load Sample Clauses
The 'Longitudinal load' clause defines the maximum force or weight that can be applied along the length of a structure, component, or system. In practice, this clause sets specific limits for how much load, such as tension or compression, a beam, rail, or similar element can safely withstand during use. By establishing these parameters, the clause ensures structural integrity and safety, preventing failures due to excessive longitudinal forces.
Longitudinal load. Attach the hinge system to the mounting provision of the test fixture. Hinge attitude must simulate the vehicle position (door fully closed) relative to the hinge centreline. For test purposes, the load is to be applied equidistant between the linear centre of the engaged portions of the hinge pin and through the centreline of the hinge pin in the longitudinal vehicle direction. Apply the test load at a rate not to exceed 5 mm/min until the required load has been achieved. Failure consists of a separation of either hinge. Record the maximum load achieved.
Longitudinal load. 2.1.1. The set of retention components for one door shall be positioned on the test fixture in the closed-door attitude (see appendix, figure 1, to this annex).
2.1.2. Full-length (piano) hinge: The hinge is positioned on the test fixture which shall have adequate dimensions to enable the hinge to be fitted along all its length to satisfy the following requirements:
2.1.2.1. the line of application of tensile force shall bisect at right angles the engaged portion of the hinge pin;
2.1.2.2. the tensile force, when applied, shall stress the hinge system approximately in the vehicle longitudinal direction.
Longitudinal load. The latch and striker assembly shall be capable of withstanding a longitudinal load of 444 ▇▇▇ in the intermediate latched positiony and 1,111 ▇▇▇ in the fully latched position (see annex 3, appendix, figure 2).
