| The turning effect of a force about a point equal to the magnitude of the magnitude of the force times the perpendicular distance from the pont to the line of action from the force | |
| A broad ridge or pair of ridges projecting at a right angle from the edge of a structural shape in order to strengthen or stiffen it. | |
| A force system where all of the forces are applied at a common point on the body or having thier lines of action with a common intersection point. | |
| The absolute value of a number. | |
| A method of analyis of trusses which constructs free body diagrams of each joint and determines the forces acting in that joint by considering equilibrium of the joint pin. | |
| A condition where there are no net external forces acting upon a particle or rigid body and the body remains at rest or continues at a constant velocity. | |
| To make into a product suitable for use; to make from raw materials by hand or by machinery; to produce according to a organized plan and with division of labor. | |
| Any of various opaque, fusible, ductile, and typically lustrous substances thare good conductors of electricity and heat. | |
| Crude or processed material that can be converted by manufacture, processing, or combination into a new and useful product; something with a potential for improvement, development, | |
| A surface or shape exposed by making a straight cut through something at right angles to the axis. | |
| A support that prevents translation in any direction. | |
| The change of motion of the body is proportional to the net force imposed on the body and is in the direction of the net force. | |
| The direction of a vector is defined by the angle between a reference axis and the arrow's line of direction. | |
| Solid material which is composed of two or more substances having different physical characteristics and in which each substance retains its identity while contributing desirable | |
| The connection points of member of a truss. | |
| Machining a surface to size with a fine feed produced in a lathe, milling machine, or grinder. | |
| Properties other than mechanical properties that pertain to the physics of a material and can usually be measured without the application of force. | |
| A mathematical property of a cross section that is concerned with a surface area and how that area is distributed about a centoidal axis. | |
| A truss that lies in a single plane often used to support roofs and bridges | |
| A structure or body which is over-constrained such that there are more unknown supports than there are equations of static equilibrium. | |
| The elements, constituents, or substances of which something is composed or can be made; matter taht has qualities which give it individuality and by which it may be categorized. | |
| A truss composed of triangles which will retain its shape even when removed from supports. | |
| Something made up of interdependent parts in a definite pattern of organization, such as trusses, frames, or machines. | |
| A support that prevents translation and rotation in a beam. | |
| Of or relating to the manufacture of any product (as earthenware, porcelain, or brick) made essentially from a nonmetallic mineral (as clay) by firing at a high temperature. | |
