Flashcards
Form and function
Cards in this deck (24)
- 1Structureshave a purpose. Made up of different parts. Man-made/ nature
- 2FormDepends on function. Is the design/look of the object
- 3Functionwhy it was built. Is the task of the structure
- 4ForceCan't see.Has magnitude and direction. Newtons measure force. Force of earth 10 n/kg
- 5Appliedthe force physically acts upon something
- 6Non contactA force that acts upon something without actually touching it
- 7GravityDepends on mass and distance. Bigger =bigger pull. Pull is also the weight
- 8Weight Vs. MassWeight can change somewhere else. Mass cannot. Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter something contains, while Weight is the measurement of the pull of gravity on an object
- 9Loadsis a force that acts upon a structure.
- 10Dynamicevery non contact force that isn't gravity
- 11Dead load?is the weight of the structure itself
- 12Live loadload caused by the weight of the object it supports
- 13Solidis full and not hollow
- 14Frame3D skeleton of the structure
- 15ShellHollow in the middle
- 16Extrernaleffects an object on the outside
- 17Internaleffects a object on the inside
- 18PullingTension
- 19Pushingcompression
- 20pushing/pullingshear
- 21Tension/compressionBending
- 22Twistingtorsion
- 23center of gravitywhen everything is balanced
- 24Fallwhen the center of gravity is over the base line
