Deflection Systems
Deflection systems are engineering mechanisms designed to redirect or absorb forces acting on structures or materials. They are commonly used in various applications, such as bridges, buildings, and vehicles, to enhance stability and safety. By managing the distribution of stress, these systems help prevent structural failure and extend the lifespan of the materials involved.
One common type of deflection system is the shock absorber, which is used in vehicles to dampen the impact of bumps and uneven surfaces. Another example is the use of reinforced concrete in construction, where steel bars are embedded to improve the material's ability to withstand bending and tension forces.
