What is a mechanical constraint?
Definition
A mechanical constraint describes the stress produced within a material when it is subjected to one or more external forces. Mechanical constraints produce various efforts inside a material.

What is compression?
Define

Force that twists materials.
What is bending?
Definition
Force that bends materials
What is shearing?
Definition
A force that cuts/tears materials.

What is an isometric view?
Define
- A 3-D representation of an object placed so that 3 sides are visble
- Visible sides are usually: Front, Top, and Side
- Visual lines in isometric projections are perpendicular to the paper.
What is a multi-view projection?
Define
- 2-D representation of a every view of an object
- Views: front, right, top (can also be bottem, back, and left)
- Mugshot views
- Must be consistent throughout and line-up
What is exploded view?
Define
Shows various parts of an object seperated from eachother.

- Center line
What is an object line?
Define
Indicates the visible outlines of an object.
- Thick and continous
What is a hidden line?
Define
Indicates the outlines that are’t visible in the current view.
- Medium and broken
What is a dimension line?
Define
Indicate the length of an object or part of an object
- Fine, continous, arrowheads ar each end
What is an extension line?
Define
Indicates the boudries of a measurement. Always palces at the ends of a dimension line.
- Fine and continous
What is diameter?
Define
Indicates the diameter of a circular section.
- Fine, continous, arrowheads at each end
- Ø is the symbol for diamter.
What is a centerline?
Define
Indicates the center of a circle or symmetrical feature.
- Fine, has a bullseyes (dash dot, dash dot)
Types a scaling
List
