Danish term or phrase: Momentspids
Kontekst: Ved vandbelastede konstruktioner er anvendelsestilstanden meget ofte dimensionsgivende. Konstruktionen bør derfor beregnes efter elasticitetsteorien. Momentspidser over understøtninger kan dog udjævnes over understøtningens bredde.

maximum (bending) moment value
Explanation:
The calculated bending moment at a support in a continuous beam or slab is often very high, because the support is considered to be isolated (a "knife-edge"). In reality, the support (e.g. a wall) always has a certain width, which makes it sensible to reduce the maximum moment value somewhat for the design of the beam or slab.

momentum spike


Explanation:
See the link below at page 286 for this example:

After the initial momentum spike, the force increases as expected with increasing end displacement, in the presence of significant amounts of noise. The noise is also a momentum related problem. Oscillations in the beam-column due to the initial momentum spike continue during the loading phase of the simulation.
