AIRCRAFT MATERIALS AND PROCESSES Flashcards
External forces applied to an elastic body.
STRENGTH OF MATERIALS
Returns completely to its original shape.
ELASTICITY
TYPES OF STRESSES
UNIT, TENSILE, COMPRESSED, SHEARING AND COMBINED
A force is uniformly distributed over a certain area.
UNIT STRESS
To stretch or lengthen.
TENSILE STRESS
Compress or shorten.
COMPRESSIVE STRESS
Shear the metal.
SHEARING STRESS
Combination of all types of unit stress.
