2Pure tone audiometry — (PTA) is the key hearing test used to identify hearing threshold levels of an individual, enabling determination of the degree, type and configuration of a hearing loss. Thus, providing the basis for diagnosis and management. PTA is a subjective …
3Structural engineering — is a field of engineering dealing with the analysis and design of structures that support or resist loads. Structural engineering is usually considered a speciality within civil engineering, but it can also be studied in its own right. [cite… …
4solids, mechanics of — ▪ physics Introduction science concerned with the stressing (stress), deformation (deformation and flow), and failure of solid materials and structures. What, then, is a solid? Any material, fluid or solid, can support normal forces.… …
5Neutral axis — Beam with neutral axis (x). The neutral axis is an axis in the cross section of a beam or shaft along which there are no longitudinal stresses or strains. If the section is symmetric, isotropic and is not curved before a bend occurs, then the… …
6Euler-Bernoulli beam equation — Euler Bernoulli beam theory, or just beam theory, is a simplification of the linear theory of elasticity which provides a means of calculating the load carrying and deflection characteristics of beams. It was first enunciated circa 1750, but was… …
7Kawabata Evaluation System — The Kawabata Evaluation System (KES) is used to measure the mechanical properties of fabrics. KES is composed of four different machines on which a total of six tests can be performed, they are: * Tensile Shear Tester Tensile, Shear * Pure… …
8Structural analysis — comprises the set of physical laws and mathematics required to study and predict the behavior of structures. The subjects of structural analysis are engineering artifacts whose integrity is judged largely based upon their ability to withstand… …
9building construction — Techniques and industry involved in the assembly and erection of structures. Early humans built primarily for shelter, using simple methods. Building materials came from the land, and fabrication was dictated by the limits of the materials and… …
10architecture — /ahr ki tek cheuhr/, n. 1. the profession of designing buildings, open areas, communities, and other artificial constructions and environments, usually with some regard to aesthetic effect. Architecture often includes design or selection of… …
