What is Member: Definition and 227 Discussions

A member of parliament (MP) is the representative of the people who live in their constituency. In many countries with bicameral parliaments, this category includes specifically members of the lower house, as upper houses often have a different title. Member of Congress or Deputy is an equivalent term in other jurisdictions. Another term is Parliamentarian.
Members of parliament seem to tend to form parliamentary groups (also called parliamentary parties) with members of the same political party.

    Understanding the Member Fixed to Collar on Smooth Rod Connection

    I was reviewing my book when I got to thinking about a special type of connection, the "member fixed connected to collar on smooth rod" It prevents a force in the direction normal to the rod, and also prevents a moment. The first part is fine, but the moment part worried me a little bit. Since...

    Understanding Axial Members in Structural Statics - Learn the Basics

    Hi! Just discovered this forum, and it's like the best ever! Anyway, I do have a question. In statics I hear about an "axial member" of a structure. This means that the force in this member works along the rod or wire or whatever, so that the direction of the force need not to be determined...
