Question

Interpret the meaning of a loading function

I just need an exemple

Answer 1

Loading Function :

loading function basically deals with the flow of fluid. The flow rule combines the loading function and the plastic stress strain relation for a work hardening material.

Point-by-point multiplier method for off-diagonal additional mass matrix

Hydrodynamic pressure and sediment dynamic loading functions should be considered in accordance to the use of algorithm.

Example of Loading Function :

Estimating Sediment Erosion

Estimating the amount of sediment that will be transported out of a watershed is an important part of measuring and abating nonpoint source pollution. pathogens, phosphorus, and pesticides from agricultural regions; phosphorus and herbicides from cleared forests; and phosphorus, pathogens, metals, and petroleum hydrocarbons from residential areas.

Because many urban pollutants are transported with sediment, and because sediment itself is an important pollutant, mathematical models are often used to predict sediment erosion and transport to a body of water.

One method for estimating the sediment transport from sheet and rill erosion is a Loading Function based on the universal soil loss equation (USLE)

(11.1)A = R × K ×LS × C ×P,

where

A = soil loss (ton/acre–year),

R = rainfall erosivity index,

K = soil erodibility factor,

LS = topographic factor,

C = vegetation cover factor, and

P = erosion control practice factor

The above example is the example of loading function related to science. If you are asking about any other loading function please let me know.

Ask for any doubt, do like if you find it useful.
