Hi, my name is Charles-Alexandre. I am presently studying in Mechanical Engineering. At St-Jerome Cegep we have a building that is separate from the main Cegep just for our technique. This program is oriented to understand the basic of mechanical. What I mean, is that when your finish with this technique you will be a specialist of everything that has a motor or need some strength to work. Also, we have a lot of course that explain to us how to do some object from application in a computer. This glossary will help every one that are new in the technique and also every one that want to understand a text or a conversation that is base on some mechanical engineering.
3D print
noun
The 3D printing process builds a three-dimensional object from a computer-aided design (CAD) model, usually by successively adding material layer by layer, which is why it is also called additive manufacturing,[1] unlike conventional machining, casting and forging processes, where material is removed from a stock item (subtractive manufacturing) or poured into a mold and shaped by means of dies, presses and hammers.
Example: We need to use this 3D printer to make a mini prototype.

Algebra
noun
the part of mathematics in which letters and other general symbols are used to represent numbers and quantities in formulae and equations
Example: You need to do some algebra to solve this problem.

Breaking energy
Noun
Breaking energy is defined as the amount of energy required to break apart a mole of molecules into its component atoms
en: énergie de rupture
Deformation
noun
the action or process of changing in shape or distorting, especially through the application of pressure.
Example: This type of wood is deformation.
en: Déformation
drilling
noun
the action of making a hole in something by boring with a drill.
Example: Do a drilling of M10 x 1.5 please.
en: Driller
Ductile
adjective
able to be deformed without losing toughness; pliable, not brittle.
Example: This type of material is very ductile
en: Ductile
Electricity conductivity
noun
the degree to which a specified material conducts electricity, calculated as the ratio of the current density in the material to the electric field that causes the flow of current. It is the reciprocal of the resistivity.
Example: Woods is not a good electricity conduction.
en: Conductibilité électrique
Endurance limit
Noun
is the stress level below which an infinite number of loading cycles can be applied to a material without causing fatigue failure. Ferrous alloys and titanium alloys have a distinct limit.
Example: The endurance limitsof this peace is not very high.
en: Limite d'endurance
Fatigue limit
noun
is the stress level below which an infinite number of loading cycles can be applied to a material without causing fatigue failure. Ferrous alloys and titanium alloys have a distinct limit.
en: Limite de fatigue
fissure
noun
a long, narrow opening or line of breakage made by cracking or splitting, especially in rock or earth.
Example: This peace has a fissure.
en: Fissure
Intensity factor
Nouns
For any workout or part of a workout, the ratio of the Normalized Power to the rider's functional threshold power, which gives the user a relative intensity in relation to their threshold power.
Example: The intensity factor of the air is 101.3 Kpa.
en: Facteur d'intensité
Material
noun
the matter from which a thing is or can be made.
Example: This is a good material for the project.
en: Matériaux
molding
noun
an ornamentally shaped outline as an architectural feature, especially in a cornice.
Example: This molding is very expensive.
en: Plainte
Pin
noun
a thin piece of metal with a sharp point at one end and a round head at the other, used especially for fastening pieces of cloth.
Example: This pin will hold this two peaces together.
en: Goupille
Sigma
Noun
the eighteenth letter of the Greek alphabet ( ?, ? ), transliterated as ‘s.
Example: Use the sigma letter to demonstrate the constraints.
en: Sigma
stoichiometry
noun
the relationship between the relative quantities of substances taking part in a reaction or forming a compound, typically a ratio of whole integers
en: Stoechiométrie
thermosetting
noun
denoting substances (especially synthetic resins) which set permanently when heated
en: Thermodurcissable
Trigonometry
noun
the branch of mathematics dealing with the relations of the sides and angles of triangles and with the relevant functions of any angles.
Example: I will teach you how to do some trigonometry.
en: Trigonométrie
Variation of constraint
noun
It's the difference between to results that are base on the same constraints.
viscoelasticity
noun
the property of a substance of exhibiting both elastic and viscous behavior, the application of stress causing temporary deformation if the stress is quickly removed but permanent deformation if it is maintained.
Example: This aluminum form has a great viscoelasticity.
en: Viscoélasticité
Volumic mass
noun
The density (more precisely, the volumetric mass density; also known as specific mass), of a substance is its mass per unit volume. The symbol most often used for density is ? (the lower case Greek letter rho), although the Latin letter D can also be used.
Example: The volumic mass of the wood object is 703 g.
