This glossary his made to provide me with definitions of words that I may have to use in my future work environment. It contains definitions of work found on Google search, images from Wikipedia, automatize translation in French, pronunciation models and authentic examples of sentence from the Lextutor Concordancer.
alloy
noun
A metal made by combining two or more metallic elements, especially to give greater strength or resistance to corrosion.
Example: Brazing would be a good choice in this application because of the lower temperature requirements and that is uses brass rod, which is a copper alloy, though a low corrosion silver solder may also be used.

compression
noun
The action of compressing or being compressed.
Example: Subsequently structures 1 and 4 supported the lowest weight due to the long length of the members under compression.
en: compression
conduction
noun
The process by which heat or electricity is directly transmitted through a substance when there is a difference of temperature or of electrical potential between adjoining regions, without movement of the material.
Example: The heat exchanger is insulated from its surroundings, the only heat exchange is between hot and cold fluids CONDUCTION along the walls is negligible Potential and kinetic energy changes are negligible Fluid is flowing in one direction inside each tube All fluids enter the heat exchanger with uniform velocity Analytical 'Forced' Errors When calculating the pressure loss coefficients in the analysis of the fin designs only two graphs were available to extract data, these are shown in appendices 9-10.

correction
The action or process of correcting something.
Example: Storage correction; Check that this is valid- store size standard store size = = 0.5.
en: correction
corrosion
noun
Corrosion is the natural deterioration of materials, most commonly metals, due to chemical or electrochemical reactions with their environment, converting them into more stable forms like oxides.
Example: Another reason of choosing between different materials is their resistance to corrosion.

drilling
noun
The action of making a hole in something by boring with a drill.
Example: It is assumed that the average person operating the drill would weigh about 80 kg, and could feasibly apply 50% of this body weight to the drill if they were drilling downwards.

hardness
noun
The quality or condition of being hard.
Example: A reduction in grain size caused by increased cooling rate results in an increased strength and hardness.
en: dureté
plan
noun
A detailed map or diagram.
Example: Figure 5 shows a plan view of these buildings at Gurness in relation to the broch.
en: plan
planning
noun
The process of making plans for something.
Example: Such application of this model is meaningful in the real world situation if the estimate on the consequences of management was able to provide a reliable evidence to support the planning of the project.
en: planification
prototype
noun
A first, typical or preliminary model of something, especially a machine, from which other forms are developed or copied.
Example: The aim is to test these theories by varying the disk spacing and angular velocity on the prototype.
en: prototype
resilience
noun
The ability of a substance or object to spring back into shape; elasticity.
Example: To compensate, the resilience to noise is lower.
en: résilience
rigidity
noun
Inability to be to bent or be forced out of shape.
Example: Hooke's Law states that: The extension of a sample material is proportional to the stretching force F = ke Where k represents the stiffness of the sample in N m G is the modulus of rigidity.
en: rigidité
simulation
noun
Imitation of a situation or process.
Example: Because of this, it is now increasingly considered an important feature of spiking neural networks, and will be included in this simulation.
en: simulation
traction
noun
The action of drawing or pulling something over a surface, especially a road or track.
Example: This is essential in order to incorporate technology such as airbags, automatic braking system, traction control, drive by wire system and so on into our products.
en: traction
welding
noun
Welding is a fabrication process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by heating them and allowing them to fuse together, forming a strong bond.
Example: Alloys containing Silicon are suitable for the manufacture of sand and die castings, and less commonly, can be used for WELDING.
