  2. Model engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model_engineering

    The aim of model engineering to build mechanical models is now usually purely recreational, although beginning with the Industrial Revolution in the late 18th century through to the late 20th century such models were widely produced as aids to technical education, either as apprentice projects or as classroom or public institutional exhibits ...

  4. Science project - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_project

    This student is carrying his science project to school. Display projects involve a creative assembly of a display board and construction of a model to show a visual representation of a larger fact. Making a model of the Solar System, a house, or of a simple electric circuit are considered display projects. Display boards are used to enhance the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam_(mechanism)

    A simple displacement diagram illustrates the follower motion at a constant velocity rise followed by a similar return with a dwell in between as depicted in figure 2. [4] The rise is the motion of the follower away from the cam center, dwell is the motion where the follower is at rest, and return is the motion of the follower toward the cam ...

  6. Finite element method in structural mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_element_method_in...

    In other words, the summation of the work done on the system by the set of external forces is equal to the work stored as strain energy in the elements that make up the system. The virtual internal work in the right-hand-side of the above equation may be found by summing the virtual work done on the individual elements.

    Williamson kept a register of models and features and was responsible for creating and issuing the construction drawings required by a contractor to build a house, when one was sold. [ 2 ] [ 7 ] In 1914-15, Richards purchased four designs and built six buildings in a demonstration neighborhood and investment in Milwaukee, Wisconsin , now called ...

  8. Mechanical systems drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_systems_drawing

    Mechanical systems drawing is a type of technical drawing that shows information about heating, ventilating, air conditioning and transportation (elevators and escalators) around a building. [1] It is a tool that helps analyze complex systems.

  9. Building services engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_services_engineering

    Many tasks in building services engineering involve the use of engineering software, for example to design/model or draw solutions. The most common types of tool are whole building energy simulation [3] and CAD (traditionally 2D) or the increasingly popular Building Information Modeling (BIM) which is 3D. 3D BIM software can have integrated tools for Building Services calculations such sizing ...
