The engineering design process follows the same steps as the scientific discovery process, or scientific method? True? No, there are major differences Descriptive geometry is described in the book and video lecture in relation to: Geometry as a means of computation and analysis An engineering drawing can be considered a legally binding document. True? YES The term IPS in SolidWorks refers to measurement units To create an extrusion i must first draw a sketch on a ...

Strain - ANSWER-An alteration in the shape or volume of a soil related to stress. It is calculated as the ratio of the new shape compared to the original shape Effective Stress - ANSWER-The total amount of stress placed on a soil minus the pore-water pressure Normal Stress - ANSWER-The component of total stress that acts perpendicular to the plane. Shear stress - ANSWER-The component of total stress that acts parallel to any point in question. Dilatancy - ANSWER-Tendency of a materia...
