Best Answer

The deeper part of the dermis is responsible for markings on our skin surface called Flexure lines. These lines are easily observed as the deep skin creases on the palms. Flexure lines result from a continual folding of the skin, often over joints, where the dermis attaches tightly to underlying structures. Flexure lines are also visible on the wrists, soles of the feet, fingers, and toes.

Is Modulus of rupture the same as Maximum stress?

Yes.Modulus of RuptureUltimate strength determined in a flexure or torsion test. In a flexure test, modulus of rupture in bending is the maximum fiber stress at failure. In a torsion test, modulus of rupture in torsion is the maximum shear stress in the extreme fiber of a circular member at failure. Alternate terms are flexural strength and torsional strength.


What does filet mean in drafting?

What are the two major types of drafting?

The Different drafting lines are the following:visible - are continuous lines used to depict edges directly visible from a particular angle.hidden - are short-dashed lines that may be used to represent edges that are not directly visible.center - are alternately long- and short-dashed lines that may be used to represent the axes of circular features.cutting plane - are thin, medium-dashed lines, or thick alternately long- and double short-dashed that may be used to define sections for section views.section - are thin lines in a pattern (pattern determined by the material being "cut" or "sectioned") used to indicate surfaces in section views resulting from "cutting." Section lines are commonly referred to as "cross-hatching."phantom - (not shown) are alternately long- and double short-dashed thin lines used to represent a feature or component that is not part of the specified part or assembly. E.g. billet ends that may be used for testing, or the machined product that is the focus of a tooling drawing.
