intermittloads
Intermittloads are a concept primarily found in the field of civil engineering, specifically related to the analysis and design of structures subjected to varying loads. These are loads that are not applied continuously over the entire lifespan of a structure. Instead, they are present intermittently, meaning they are applied and removed periodically, or they may vary significantly in magnitude over time. Examples of intermittloads include the weight of vehicles on a bridge, the impact of waves on a coastal defense structure, or the forces generated by machinery within a factory.
The analysis of intermittloads is crucial for ensuring structural integrity and longevity. Unlike static loads that
