GRADED A+
◍ Thermal Flow & Temperature Fields.
Answer: How temperature flows from one side of a surface/object to the
other side of a surface/object
◍ Section lines.
Answer: Shading used to indicate newly formed or cut surfaces that result
when an object is hypothetically cut
◍ Taper tap.
Answer: used to start a thread, tapered within 10 threads from the end
◍ During the analysis, each finite element is treated as a ____________ with
limited properties,interacting with its surrounding region only through the
nodal points and element edges..
Answer: a simple solid body
◍ Stage.
Answer: the piece in a milling machine that can move in all linear directions
◍ Extrude through all.
Answer: An extrusion that begins on the sketching plane and protrudes or
cuts through all portions of the solid model that it encounters.
◍ Deep drawing.
Answer: thin shelled parts being made from sheet metal, ex. Coke can
◍ Body.
Answer: that portion of a screw shaft that is left unthreaded
◍ hierarchy.
, Answer: the organization or structure of a system
◍ Angle of thread.
Answer: angle between the sides of the thread
◍ Pitch Diameter.
Answer: Halfway between major and minor diameter to the other side
◍ What purpose do reference planes serve for an assembly.
Answer: they connect to base component and serve as the coordinate planes
for the space defined by the system
◍ Engineering.
Answer: The profession in which knowledge of mathematical and natural
sciences gained by study, experience, and practice is applied with judgement
to develop and utilize economically the materials and forces of nature for
the benefit of humanity
◍ classes of threads.
Answer: a designation of the amount of tolerance and allowance specified
for a thread
◍ Taper.
Answer: slight angle to help insertion and removal
◍ I bring a cylinder into an assembly and mate-parallel one of its flat faces to
the top plane. This causes it to lose these many DOFs:.
Answer: 2
◍ Angular Constraints.
Answer: measures the angle between two lines, the lines do not need to
intersect but may not be parallel.
◍ drill press.
Answer: The machine in which a drill bit is places and is used to create
holes in materials
◍ Horizontal lines are drawn from.
Answer: left to right
, ◍ for left handed people horizontal lines are drawn from.
Answer: right to left
◍ Measure Line Distance.
Answer: This measure command returns the shortest (perpendicular)distance
between a line and another identified entity, such as a point
◍ Turning.
Answer: the name of the process that a lathe does
◍ Broaching.
Answer: Some holes, slots, cutouts, with odd geometries can be made
through this operation
◍ High or low volume production?Grinding.
Answer: Low-Volume- uses a rapidly rotating abrasive wheel to remove
material from a workpiece very slowly .
◍ High or low volume production?Sawing.
Answer: Low-Volume- a multitoothed cutting blade is pulled through the
material
◍ Loading Condition.
Answer: helps find the maximum point of stress
◍ Close Running Fit.
Answer: these fits are for running on accurate machines and for ensuring
accurate location at moderate speeds and journal pressures
◍ What doesn't belong in this list? What does this list describe?eraser
shieldtriangleslettering guidefountain pent-square.
Answer: fountain pen, materials needed to create an engineering drawing.
◍ Lead.
Answer: the distance a screw thread advances axially in one full turn
◍ I bring a cube into an assembly and mate-coincident one of its vertices to a
fixed vertex. It now has these many DOFs:.
