Constraints and Deformations (p. 382-384) Flashcards
Define tension
Effect of a force that stretches a material (stretches)
Define compression
Effect of a force that squeezes a material (squeezes)
Define torsion
Effect of a force that twists a material (twists)
Define deflection
Effect of a force that bends a material (bends)
Define shearing
Effect of a force that cuts a material (cuts)
Name the types of deformation
Elastic
Plastic
Fracture
Define elastic deformation
The object returns to its original shape after the force is removed
Define plastic deformation
The object remains permanently deformed after the force is removed
Define fracture deformation
The object breaks when subjected to a force
What is a constraint?
The effect that occurs inside a material due to an external force that deforms it
