Across
  1. 1. force that one part of a structure exerts on other parts within the same structure (e.g., shear, tension, compression, torsion forces)
  2. 5. force applied to a structure from the outside (e.g., wind, gravity)
  3. 6. side of a structure affected by a force
  4. 8. part of a structure that can add strength to it (e.g., arches, beams, columns)
  5. 9. structure that is solid all the way through
  6. 11. any small or large object that provides support and has at least one function
  7. 12. breakdown of a structure due to the internal and external forces acting on it
  8. 13. exact location where a force meets a structure
  9. 15. effect of all the internal and external forces acting on a structure over a long period of time

  11. 20. science of designing equipment that people can use more efficiently and safely
  12. 21. model used to test and evaluate a design
  13. 22. force that moves or changes while acting on a structure
  14. 23. type of internal force that twists a structure
Down
  1. 2. structure containing a combination of shell, frame, and solid structures
  2. 3. type of internal force that stretches a structure apart to expand or lengthen it
  3. 4. structure that is made of parts fastened together
  4. 7. any push or pull acting on a structure that can change the structure’s shape, speed, or direction
