| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What are the 5 engineering forces | Tension, Compression, Shear, Bending and Torsion. |
| What is tension | Tensile strength is the maximum pulling force a material can withstand before breaking. Cables and chains need to have this property. Like Resistance bands |
| What is compression | Compressive strength is the ability of a material to withstand squashing or compressive forces. Like a Hydraulic press |
| What is a Shear force | Shear strength is the ability of a material to withstand cutting forces. Like a Scissors cutting |
| What is a bending | Bending strength is the ability to resist bending forces. Like 3d Printed build plate |
| What is Torsion | Torsional strength is the ability to withstand a twisting force or torsion. Like a Salt grinder motion |
| What is strength | The ability of a material to withstand forces. |
| What is hardness | The ability of a material to resist wear, indentation and scratching. |
| What is ductility | The ability of a material to be permanently stretched without fracture by a tensile force. |
| What is malleability | The ability of a material to be extended in all directions without rupture by rolling or hammering. You can increase the malleability of a material by heating it. |
| What is toughness | The ability of a material to withstand blows or impacts. |
| What is Brittleness | This is the opposite to toughness. A brittle material can easily be fractured by an impact. |
| What is Elasticity | The ability of a material to return to its original shape when freed from the force that was distorting it. |
| What is Plasticity | The ability of a material to be permanently deformed without fracturing. Heating the material will improve its plasticity. |
| What is conductivity | The ability of a material to allow heat or electricity flow through it. |
