Manufacturing Engineering Foundations

Materials are classified as

• Natural, plastic, and leather

• Natural, synthetic, and mixed

• Metal, synthetic, and leather

• Metal, plastic, and leather

Manufacturing production systems can be classified as

• Customized, batch, and continuous

• Natural, batch, and continuous

• Customized, synthetic, and continuous

• Customized, batch, and natural

The effectiveness of the manufacturing process was increased by the introduction of

• Custom made parts

• Batch production methods

• Interchangeable parts

• Natural materials

What is tensile strength?

• Measures the material’s resistance to being squeezed.

• Measures the material’s resistance to various types of rapidly changing stresses.

• Measures the material’s resistance to being pulled apart.

• The material’s resistance to permanent indentation.

Compression strength is the measure of what force?

• Measures the material’s resistance to being squeezed

• Measures the material’s resistance to various types of rapidly changing stresses

• The material’s ability to return to its near original shape after a stress has been applied and removed

• The material’s resistance to permanent indentation

What is the definition of fatigue strength?

• The material’s ability to stretch, bend, or twist without

  breaking.

• The measure of how well the material accommodates the

  movement of an electrical charge.

• When a material breaks or shatters with the application of tensile stress.

• Measures the material’s resistance to various types of rapidly changing stresses.

A product that is one of a kind and manufactured by a specialist is what type of manufacturing?

• Custom

• Batch

• Just in time (JIT)

• Continuous

Products made with no interruption in the production line is an example of what type of manufacturing?

• Batch

• Custom

• Continuous

• Just it time (JIT)

What is the definition of composite materials?

• Inorganic and nonmetallic materials formed from powdered materials through the application of heat.

• Elements, compounds, or alloys that account for roughly two-thirds of all materials.

• Elements commonly referred to as plastics or rubber

• Any combination(s) of two or more distinct materials, in which those materials maintain their original properties.

When designing engineering solutions to problems, which of the following is NOT taken into account?

• Scientific laws

• CAD systems

• Engineering principles

• Properties of materials
