Tension The magnitude of the pulling force exerted by a string,cable,chain or similar object on another object.It is the opposite of compression measured in Newton.
Tensile Structure These are structures in which tension is main force acting to balance out the load.They are architecturally innovative forms of construction art that provide designers and end users a variety of aesthetic free-form canopy designs.
Research • Tensile structures are strong • Use of fabric not necessary • Resist compression and buckling forces • They are susceptible to vibrations
Rubber band Elasticity Force is applied linearly not on plane of cross-sectional area Hardens with temperature Lets moisture out and air in
