3.2+Joining+Structural+Components



2 Types of Joints: !) Rigid/ Fixed Joints: Do not allow movement and hold different materials FIRMLY together
 * Fasteners like nails, screws, staples and tape
 * Ties like thread, string and rope
 * Adhesives like glue
 * Melted joints through welding and smoldering

2) Movable Joints: Allow movement
 * Hinges
 * Ball and sockets

ALL joints need[| friction] and [|bonding] to hold the material together.
