  2. Mechanical aptitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_aptitude

    Mechanical aptitude tests are often coupled together with spatial relations tests. Mechanical aptitude is a complex function and is the sum of several different capacities, one of which is the ability to perceive spatial relations.

  3. Glossary of mechanical engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_mechanical...

    An electric generator is mechanically identical to an electric motor, but operates in the reverse direction, converting mechanical energy into electrical energy. Electrical engineering – Electrical engineering is an engineering discipline concerned with the study, design and application of equipment, devices and systems which use electricity ...

    A mechanically commutated electric motor powered by direct current. decibel definite integral deflection The degree to which a structural element is displaced under a load. It may refer to an angle or a distance. deformation 1. (mechanics) 2. (engineering) density. Also called mass density.

  5. Peristaltic pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peristaltic_pump

    For those mechanically inclined, this may be the constant strain operation. Spring-loaded rollers - As the name indicates, the rollers in this pump are mounted on a spring. This design is more elaborate than the fixed occlusion, but helps overcome the variations in the tube wall thickness over a broader range.

  6. Banked turn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banked_turn

    As opposed to a vehicle riding along a flat circle, inclined edges add an additional force that keeps the vehicle in its path and prevents a car from being "dragged into" or "pushed out of" the circle (or a railroad wheel from moving sideways so as to nearly rub on the wheel flange). This force is the horizontal component of the vehicle's ...

  7. Incline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incline

    Incline, inclined, inclining, or inclination may refer to: Grade (slope), the tilt, steepness, or angle from horizontal of a topographic feature (hillside, meadow, etc.) or constructed element (road, railway, field, etc.) Slope, the tilt, steepness, or angle from horizontal of a line (in mathematics and geometry) Incline may also refer to:

  8. Inclined plane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclined_plane

    An inclined plane, also known as a ramp, is a flat supporting surface tilted at an angle from the vertical direction, with one end higher than the other, used as an aid for raising or lowering a load. [1] [2] [3] The inclined plane is one of the six classical simple machines defined by Renaissance scientists. Inclined planes are used to move ...

  9. Stress (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stress_(mechanics)

    In continuum mechanics, stress is a physical quantity that describes forces present during deformation.For example, an object being pulled apart, such as a stretched elastic band, is subject to tensile stress and may undergo elongation.
