engineering component |
A fundamental concept that applies in many engineering domains. An EngineeringComponent is an element of a Device that is a physically whole object, such as one might see listed as standard parts in a catalog. The main difference betweeen EngineeringComponents and arbitrary globs of matter is that EngineeringComponents are object-like in a modeling sense. Thus, an EngineeringComponent is not an arbtrary subregion, but a part of a system with a stable identity.

damper | A Device designed to lessen or to remove a Tremor from a PhysicalSystem. Examples include a car's air shocks, or rubber and fluid-filled foundation mounts for buildings in earthquake-prone areas. |
| | faucet | A Tube with a Valve meant to control flow of a Fluid. This is differentiated from other combinations of values and pipes in that the valve is meant to control the exit of fluid from the pipe at a site close to that of the valve control. It is also a typicalPart of the fixtures in a Bathroom or Kitchen. |
| | fluid cylinder | A FluidPowerDevice designed to transform fluid-power energy into mechanical translatory energy. |
| | gear | a toothed wheel that engages another toothed mechanism in order to change the speed or direction of transmitted motion. |
| | gearbox | A device composed of several gear-trains used to change speed and torque of transmitted motion. |
| | gear train | a pair of gears that are used to change speed or direction of an angular motion, ideal gear train can be modeled using a transformer. |

| | pendulum | A MechanicalDevice of an object mounted so that it swings freely under the influence of gravity. |
| | rotor | The Rotating component of a motor, generator or similar Device. |
| | shaft | A revolving rod that transmits power or motion. |
| | spring | a metal device that returns to its shape or position when pushed or pulled or pressed |
| | stator | Stationary part of a motor or generator in or around which the rotor revolves. |
| | valve | A Device that regulates, directs or controls the FlowFn of a Fluid (Gas, Liquid, fluidized solids, or slurries) by opening, closing, or partially obstructing various passageways. (Wikipedia) |
