  2. Structural engineering theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering_theory

    Structural engineering depends upon a detailed knowledge of loads, physics and materials to understand and predict how structures support and resist self-weight and imposed loads. To apply the knowledge successfully structural engineers will need a detailed knowledge of mathematics and of relevant empirical and theoretical design codes.

  3. Mechanical engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_engineering

    Various machine components used in mechanical engineering. Mechanical engineering is the study of physical machines that may involve force and movement. It is an engineering branch that combines engineering physics and mathematics principles with materials science, to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems. [1]

  4. Entity component system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entity_component_system

    The components don't have to be located physically together with the entity, but should be easy to find and access using the entity. "Each System runs continuously (as though each System had its own private thread) and performs global actions on every Entity that possesses a Component or Components that match that System's query."

  5. Strength of materials - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_of_materials

    The tensile strength can be quoted as either true stress or engineering stress, but engineering stress is the most commonly used. Fatigue strength is a more complex measure of the strength of a material that considers several loading episodes in the service period of an object, [ 6 ] and is usually more difficult to assess than the static ...

  6. Truss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truss

    In engineering, a truss is a structure that "consists of two-force members only, where the members are organized so that the assemblage as a whole behaves as a single object". [2] A "two-force member" is a structural component where force is applied to only two points.

  7. Applied mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applied_mechanics

    Engineering problems are generally tackled with applied mechanics through the application of theories of classical mechanics and fluid mechanics. [4] Because applied mechanics can be applied in engineering disciplines like civil engineering, mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, materials engineering, and biomedical engineering, it is sometimes referred to as engineering mechanics.

  8. Structural engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering

    Structural engineering is a sub-discipline of civil engineering in which structural engineers are trained to design the 'bones and joints' that create the form and shape of human-made structures. Structural engineers also must understand and calculate the stability , strength, rigidity and earthquake-susceptibility of built structures for ...

  9. Glossary of mechanical engineering - Wikipedia

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

    Design for manufacturability – (also sometimes known as design for manufacturing or DFM), is the general engineering practice of designing products in such a way that they are easy to manufacture. The concept exists in almost all engineering disciplines, but the implementation differs widely depending on the manufacturing technology.
