Mechanical Constraints & Properties Crossword Puzzle

QUESTIONS LIST:

• compression: squeezing a material
• tension: stretching a material
• torsion: twisting a material
• bending: standing on a diving board puts this force on it.
• shearing: cutting paper with scissors puts this force on it.
• elastic: deformation where material regains its shape.
• plastic: permanent deformation
• fracture: deformation where the material breaks from the constraint.
• hardness: property where material resists penetration or scratching
• elasticity: coils and springs have this property.
• resilience: property that makes materials resist impacts (e.g. steel)
• ductility: property of a metal that allows it to "stretch-don't-break"
• malleability: property of a metal that allows it to "bend (flatten)-don't-break"
• tensile strength: ability to resist tension without deforming.
