alter the relation between the speed of a driving mechanism Material material A material is a chemical substance or mixture of substances that constitute an object Pulley polea a wheel with a grooved rim around which a cord passes. It acts to change the direction of a force applied to the cord and is chiefly used (typically in combination) to raise heavy weights Stress esfuerzo pressure or tension exerted on a material object Torsion torsión the action of twisting or the state of being twisted, especially of one end of an object relative to the other steel acero a hard, strong, gray or bluish-gray alloy of iron with carbon and usually other elements, used extensively as a structural and fabricating material Shaft eje a long cylindrical rotating rod for the transmission of motive power in a machine machine máquina an apparatus using or applying mechanical power and having several parts, each with a definite function and together performing a particular task dimension dimensión a measurable extent of some kind, such as length, breadth, depth, or height aluminium aluminio the chemical element of atomic number 13, a light silvery-gray metal deflection deflexión the action or process of deflecting or being deflected. analysis análisis detailed examination of the elements or structure of something, typically as a basis for discussion or interpretation bending flexión shape or force (something straight) into a curve or angle deformation deformación the action or process of changing in shape or distorting, especially through the application of pressure energy energía the property of matter and radiation that is manifest as a capacity to perform work (such as causing motion or the interaction of molecules) elasticity elasticidad the ability of an object or material to resume its normal shape after being stretched or compressed; stretchiness column columna an upright pillar, typically cylindrical and made of stone or concrete, supporting an entablature, arch, or other structure or standing alone as a monument beam viga a long, sturdy piece of squared timber or metal spanning an opening or part of a building, usually to support the roof or floor above thermodynamics termodinámica the branch of physical science that deals with the relations between heat and other forms of energy (such as mechanical, electrical, or chemical energy) elongation elongación the lengthening of something force fuerza an influence tending to change the motion of a body or produce motion or stress in a stationary body. The magnitude of such an influence is often calculated by multiplying the mass of the body by its acceleration shearing stress esfuerzo cortante A shear stress, often denoted by τ, is the component of stress coplanar with a material cross section. Shear stress arises from the force vector component parallel to the cross section of the material design diseño a plan or drawing produced to show the look and function or workings of a building, garment, or other object before it is built or made technology tecnología the application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, especially in industry ball-bearing rodamiento de bolas a bearing between a wheel and a fixed axle, in which the rotating part and the stationary part are separated by a ring of small solid metal balls that reduce friction
