Introduction Flashcards
oldest physical science that deals with both stationary and moving bodies under the influence of forces
mechanics
branch of mechanics that deals with bodies at rest
statics
branch of mechanics that deals with bodies that are moving
dynamics
the science that deals with the behaviour of fluids at rest or in motion and the interaction of fluids with solids or other fluids at the boundaries
fluid mechanics
study of the motion of fluids that can be called imcompressible
hydrodynamics
sub category of hydrodynamics
hydraulics
deals with the flow of fluids that undergo significant density changes such as the flow of gases through nozzles at high speeds
gas dynamics
deals with the flow of gases over bodies such as aircraft and automobiles at high or low speeds
aerodynamics
substance in a gas or liquid phase
fluid
can resist an applied shear stress by deforming
solid
deforms continuously under the influence of a shear stress no matter how small
fluid
in solids stress is proportional to
strain
in liquids, stress is proportional to ____
strain rate
never stops deforming and approaches a constant rate of strain
fluids
Force
sheer stress x contact area
