forces and stresses Flashcards
1
Q
what are the 5 forces
A
tension, compression, bending, torsion, shear
2
Q
4 ways to adapt materials to withstand forces
A
lamination, folding, webbing, interfacing
3
Q
what is lamination
A
material sandwiched between another material to improve strength (paper + plastic layers)
4
Q
what is webbing
A
woven in several directions to increase strength on items that need high tensile strength(seatbelt, ropes)
5
Q
what is interfacing
A
additional layer added to inside of certain areas of clothing to stiffen(collars, cuffs, waistbands, pockets)
