BUCKLING - sudden failure of a structural member subjected to high compressive stresses, BENDING - the material at the top of the beam is being compressed while the material at the bottom is being stretched, TORSION - twisting, bending, distortion, contortion, ELONGATION - size of an object due to an applied force as result of tension force, SHORTENING - size of an object due to an applied force as result of compression force, SHEARING - a component fails when it splits into two parts that slide past each other, SWAY - act of moving from side to side, VIBRATION - mechanical oscillation about an equilibrium point, DEFLECTION - distance that a beam bends from its original horizontal position, SYSTEM - response of a complex structure when subjected to forces, COMPONENT - response of parts of different kinds of structural members ,
