Kraftspridning
Kraftspridning is a Swedish term that translates literally to “power distribution” and is used in several technical contexts. In mechanics and structural engineering it refers to the spread of a force over a large area in order to reduce the resulting pressure. The concept is fundamental in the design of foundations, bearing pads, and contact surfaces to prevent local overloads that could lead to material failure or wear. By distributing load, the stress per unit area is lowered, allowing materials to operate within allowable limits and extending the lifespan of a structure.
The principle also applies to the design of footwear and sports equipment where the impact force of
In electrical engineering, kraftspridning can refer to the even distribution of power across a network, ensuring
Understanding kraftspridning is therefore essential for professionals dealing with contacts and loads in mechanical, biomechanical, and
