Forces And Stresses Flashcards
What is linear motion
It is motion forward like a car
What is reciprocating motion
Up and down like an engine piston
What is rotary motion
It is motion like a wheel moves on a axel rotating
What is oscillating movement
Movement like a swing on a fixed point
What is radial load
Load up and down on an object
What is axial load
Load which acts upon a object horizontally
What is torsional stress
A twisting like motion on a shaft
What is a ferrous metal
A metal which is derived from iron therefore it is magnetic
What are heat treatments
It is a process used to increase metal characteristics without changing its shape
What is annealing
Involves heating and cooling metal in very specific temperatures
What is tempering
A process used to increase toughness of a metal using cooling and heating techniques
What is tensile strength
Ability to withstand stretching loads without breaking
What is compressive strength
Ability to be compressed and withstand the load
What is shear strength
Ability to withstand an offset load without breaking
What is toughness
Ability to withstand a impact load
