1. These weights produced a catenary curve in both the arches and vaults. 2. Also in 1972, William Bielby designed a top-bar hive that featured catenary curved comb. 3. A "'catenary arch "'is a type of architectural pointed arch that follows an inverted catenary curve . 4. Getting any fancier increases the cost, except for a picket fence with a catenary curve or arc. 5. If the tug accelerates, the horizontal tension increases, the ratio increases, and the catenary curve becomes shallower. 6. A "'catenoid "'is a type of surface in topology, arising by rotating a catenary curve about an axis. 7. Saarinen chose a weighted catenary over a normal catenary curve because it looked less pointed and less steep. 8. A uniformly loaded cable spanning between two supports forms a curve intermediate between a catenary curve and a parabola. 9. A stressed ribbon bridge also has one or more catenary curves and a deck laid on the main cables. 10. To achieve a catenary curve , suspend a chain from two posts; it will hang naturally in a catenary curve.
