WHAT DOES MONOCOQUE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

monocoque

Monocoque

Monocoque is a structural approach that supports loads through an object's external skin, similar to an egg shell. The term is also used to indicate a structure in which the skin provides the main structural support, although this is rare and is usually confused with either semi-monocoque or a unibody. The word monocoque comes from the Greek for single and French for shell. The technique may also be called structural skin. The term is often misused for sub-components that are superficially monocoques, but which are used as a part of a larger frame structure. Alternatives to monocoque include trusses, unibodies, inflatable shells and semi-monocoque or stressed skin. The semi-monocoque is a hybrid combining a tensile shell and compressive structure made up of longerons and ribs or frames.

Definition of monocoque in the English dictionary

The first definition of monocoque in the dictionary is a type of aircraft fuselage, car body, etc, in which all or most of the loads are taken by the skin. Other definition of monocoque is a type of racing-car, racing-cycle, or powerboat design with no separate chassis and body. Monocoque is also of or relating to the design characteristic of a monocoque.
