ACT CH04
Term | Definition |
---|---|
grains | are formed by the crystalline pattern of the metal and alloy molecules |
elasticity | is the ability of a metal to bend without permanent deformation |
elastic deformation | metal with ______________ will return to its original position if the force holding the metal out of position is removed |
plasticity | is the ability of a metal to be shaped |
plastic deformation | If the applied force moves the metal beyond its yield point |
bend | the difference between a bend and a buckle is that a _______ is purposely put into the part when the part is manufactured |
buckle | this is caused by impact force |
work hardening | When a change in grain structure increases the strength of metal in the bend area |
body line | is a styling line in a hood |
crown | the curvature of a panel. There are four basic types |
combination crown | means that a panel has at least two types of crown (high and low) |
force | can be defined as any action between two objects that changes their relative condition as to motion or rest |
yield point | the minimum amount of force required to case a permanent change in grain arrangement |
longitudinal force | force applied from one end |
simple rolled buckles | simple folds on sheet metal |
collapsed-hinge buckle | distortion that takes place on the fold |
lateral force | force applied from the side |
arrowhead | a buckle that becomes work hardened and resistant to force |
inertia | the tendency of an object to remain at rest or to remain in motion |
inertia damage | an upward deflection of the rear section may cause a buckle in the roof at a pivot point |
target | the object a vehicle collides with is called a ___________ |
impact angle | another collision factor to be considered when an accident occurs |
surface area of impact | another collision factor to be considered when an accident occurs |
vehicle height | the last collision factor to be considered |
direct damage | damage that occurs at the point of contact during a collision |
indirect damage | occurs away from the point of impact and is a result of the direct damage |
upset | the compression of the grains |
bend-versus-kink rule | states that damaged high-strength steel parts can be repaired if they are bent but must be replaced if they are kinked |
kink | has a buckle that is 90 degrees in a short area |
kickup | when a frame moves up due to a collision |
sag | when a frame moves down due to a collision |
mash | the change in frame length due to a collision |
sidesway | the lateral movement of rails |
diamond | when the frame rails and cross members in the center section of the vehicle no longer form a rectangle |
twist | if the frame rails under the cab are not level with each other |
dent | a buckle forms and the surface area of the metal permanently increases |
