Engineering Mechanics 200-250 Flashcards
- Each force or couple putted on a free diagram represents a model of how a body is affected by it surroundings.
Forces and couples of a free body
- It is a structure made of two force members all pin is connected to each other.
Truss
- A body which has forces applied onto it at only three points and no couples applied onto it at all.
A two force member
- A body which has forces applied onto it at only three pounts and no couples applied onto it at all.
A three force
- This method uses free body diagrams of sections of the truss to obtain unknown forces.
Method of joints
- This method uses free body diagrams of sections of the truss to obtain unknown forces.
The method of sections
- Some members in the truss which cannot carry load.
zero force member
- In the free diagram load is directly transmitted from each member to the one opposite without any interaction.
A redundant joint
- These members must be removed from the truss, other wise one will have an insufficient number of equations
Redundant members
- Sometimes there is too much freedom in a structure, the following structures cannot carry load since it will collapse under the load.
mechanism
211.Two forces acting on a two force member are along the line connecting the two points on which the loads are applied.
Curved members
- A general triangular object which is placed between two objects to either hold them in place or is used to move one relative to the other.
Wedges
- It is a combination of a two wedges obtain from the opening the helical treads.
screw
- If the lead angle is selected such that in the absence of a screwing moment.
Self-locking screw
- Is the second moment of area around a given axis.
Area moment of inertia
- Can be calculated if we have a rectangular coordinate system, one can define the area moment of inertial around the axis.
Parallel axis theorem
- If the distance away from the axis that all the area can be concentrated to result in the some moment of inertia.
Radius of gyration
- The explicit form of the laws of mechanics depend on this and is used to reference the motions.
Inertial frame
- Law which governs the motion for a rigid body.
Euler’s law
- For a single particle of mass its linear momentum by its mass times its velocity.
Linear momentum of particle
- Is assumed to be the sum of the linear momentum of its particles.
linear momentum of a body
- For a particle of mass is defined as the moment of linear momentum across the point.
Angular momentum of a particle
- A vector itself which has a magnitude equal to the rate of rotation.
Angular velocity
- It is the rate of change of the angular velocity with respect to time.
angular acceleration
- When two surface come into contact forces are applied by each other surface on the other.
Friction force
- The frictional forces that can result between two surfaces slide relative to each other.
Static friction
- The frictional forces that can result when two surfaces are sliding to each other is proportional to the normal force applied on the surface.
Kinetic friction
- Refers to the state just before surfaces start to slip.
Pending motion
- It is a method for predicting failure of a structure containing a crack.
Fracture mechanics
- The study of deformation typically in the elastic range.
deformation mechanics
- It is the study on how fluids react to forces.
Fluid mechanics
- A method of applying mechanics that assumes all objects are continuous.
Continuum mechanics
- Under this condition the forces or vectors are transformed into a polygon.
Graphical condition
- If three or more non-parallel forces or vectors are in equilibrium they must be concurrent.
Directional condition
- If corces or vectors are in equilibrium, then it must satisfy the three static equations.
Analytical condition
- IT is the application of fluid mechanics in engineering.
Hydraulics
- When the loading is uniformly distributed horizontally the cable is analyzed as
Parabolic
- When the loading is distributed along the cable the cable is analyzed as
catenary
- Is one whose action is not confined to or associated with a unique line in space.
Free vector
- Is one for which a unique line in space must be maintained along which the quantity acts.
Sliding vector
- Is one which a unique point of application is specified and therefore the vector occupies a particular position in space.
Fixed vector
- It is defined as the sicence which considers the effects of forces on rigid bodies
Engineering mechanics
- It considers the effects is distributuion of forces on rigid bodies which are and remain at rest.
Statics
- It is defined as a definite amount of matter the parts which are fixed in position relative to each other.
Rigid body
- It is the branch of mechanics which deals with the study of bodies in motion.
Dynamics
- Its is defined as a condition in which the sultant of a system of force is equal to zero.
Equilibrium
- The forces by which determine how the loads applied to a structure are distributed throughout the structure.
Analysis of structure
- In _______ the members are subjected to bending action.
Frames
- In _______ the inter nal force in a bar is directed along the axis of bars.
Trusses
250 . It may be defines as te contact resistance exerted by one body upon a second body when the second body move or tends to move past the first body.
Friction
