A machine is a tool containing one or more parts that uses energy to perform an intended
action.
Machines are usually powered by mechanical, chemical, thermal, or electrical means,
and are
often motorized. Historically, a power tool also required moving parts to classify as a
machine.

Mechanism (engineering) - rigid bodies connected by joints in order to accomplish a


desired force and/or motion transmission.

Slider mechanism

Tensile stress (or tension) is the stress state leading to expansion; that is, the length of a
material ends to increase in the tensile direction.
Compressive stress is the stress on materials that leads to a smaller volume.
Shear stress arises from the force vector component parallel to the cross section.

Torsion is the
twisting of an
object due to an
applied torque.

Bending (also known as flexure) characterizes the behavior of a slender structural


element subjected to an external load applied perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis of the
element.

ADAPTIVE DESIGN existing designs


DEVELOPMENT DESIGN a design that needs
evolution or growth
NEW DESIGN - not existing before
