Structures and Forces

2. Structure's capacity to hold itself up as well as any weight added
6. Weakening of a structure due to the external and internal forces acting on it
8. Weight of the structure and the non-moving load it supports.
10. A force that acts to squeeze an object or push parts of an object together
11. Moving or changing force acting on an object
13. structure Structure consisting of a rigid arrangements of parts joined together
15. A curved structure used in bridges and gateways
16. Pleasing appearance or effect that an object has because of its design
21. Multiple folds in a material that provide additional strength
22. A force that acts to push parts that are in contact with each other in opposite directions
23. Joint A joint that allows a wide range of movement.
24. A force that acts to stretch and pull apart something
25. Imaginary point in an object where the downward force of gravity acts

1. Flat structure supported at both ends
3. A method/process of bonding one layer to another under heat or pressure to increase the strength a material
4. The force that results when the surface of one object moves against the surface another object
5. A force that one part of a structure exerts on another part within the same structure (torsion, tension, shear, compression)
7. structure Structure made of a solid piece or solid combination of strong material
9. A push or pull that tends to cause an object to change it movement or shape. Measured in newtons (N)
12. Joint A joint that does not move.
14. A force applied to an object by something something else
17. Framework of beans that form triangles
18. structure A round solid outer outer surface (which may be round or flat) and a hollow inner area
19. A solid upright support structure in the shape of a cylinder
20. Amount of matter in an object
26. The use or purpose of a structure
