cylinder

I cast two cylinders of concrete about a week ago, and now it’s time to break them for science.

Was the second cylinder stronger than the first one?

This can be really useful, like in hydraulic cylinders, but that lack of “springiness” can also lead to catastrophic failure of pipe systems.

Here’s a demonstration: These two concrete cylinders were cast from the exact same batch, and we’ll see how much load they can withstand before failure.

A hollow box or cylinder is lowered into its proper location, and then the soil is excavated and removed from within until a sound layer of rock or strong soil is reached.

Your prefrontal cortex usually keeps your amygdala in check, but it still isn't firing on all cylinders.

You have an electromechanical actuator that's driving a pneumatic cylinder, which is pumping air to a valve so that you can control the input to both cylinders at the same time.
