A body subjected to a pull.
Properties other than mechanical properties that pertain to the physics of a material and can usually be measured without the application of force.
Any of various opaque, fusible, ductile, and typically lustrous substances thare good conductors of electricity and heat.
The geometric center of an area.
Produced by the combining of parts or elements to form a a whole, rather than of natural origin; not real, artificial.
A support that prevents translation and rotation in a beam.
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 process that changes the size and shape of a material by a combination of force and a shaped form.
A truss composed of triangles which will retain its shape even when removed from supports.
A structure or body which is over-constrained such that there are more unknown supports than there are equations of static equilibrium.
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 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.
Those properties of a material that reveal the elastic and inelastic reaction when force is applied, or that involve the relationship between stress and strain; for example, the mo
A tool for systematically ranking alternatives according to a set of criteria.
A phyisical quantity that has magnitude only.
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.
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

A quantity that has both a magnitude and direction.
The direction of a vector is defined by the angle between a reference axis and the arrow's line of direction.
A support that prevents translation in any direction.
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.
