Lecture 3-Physical Biomechanics III Flashcards
Resolution of force
Dividing a force into its components (Its rotary and non-rotary components) or replacing a single vector by two or more equivalent forces
Composition of forces
The combination of the forces acting on an object into one net resulting effect
Load
An outside force or group of forces acting on an object
Mechanical stress
The internal reaction or resistance to the external load
What are the three principles of stress?
Tension
Compression
Sheer
Mechanical Strain
Deformation or change in dimensions of an object because of the forces (load) applied to the object
Standing upright, what is the non rotary degrees?
