Stresses & Strains Crossword Puzzle

QUESTIONS LIST:

• impact : a very rapidly applied load
• acoustics : the science of sound waves.
• thermal expansion : expansion due to heat.
• plastic deformation : when the load is removed the object is permanently deformed.
• fatigue strength : resistance of a material to a cyclic load.
• oxidation : decay due oxygen.
• elastic deformation : when the load is removed the material returns to its original shape.
• modulus of elasticity : basically measures the stiffness or rigidity of a material.
• shear : this stress produces force that work in opposite direction parallel with the plane of the force, causing adjacent parts to move past each.
• dead load : type of load created by the weight of building components.
• corrosion : chemical or electro-chemical decay.
• deflection : the movement of an object when a load is introduced.
• compression : pushing force on both end of an object towards the center an object.
• tension : pulling force applied to the end of an object.
• thermal properties : properties of a material that relate to how it reacts and responds to heat.
