mesh🔊

A structure made of connected strands of metal, fiber, or other flexible/ductile material, with evenly spaced openings between them.

The opening or space enclosed by the threads of a net between knot and knot, or the threads enclosing such a space.

The engagement of the teeth of wheels, or of a wheel and rack.

A measure of fineness (particle size) of ground material. A powder that passes through a sieve having 300 openings per linear inch but does not pass 400 openings per linear inch is said to be -300 +400 mesh.

(computer graphics) A polygon mesh.

(electronics) In mesh analysis: a loop in an electric circuit (to which Kirchhoff's voltage law can be applied).

(networking) A network topology with each device connected to multiple other devices in lieu of a central switch. Redundancy on a mesh network prevents single points of failure.

To connect together by interlocking, as gears do.

(figurative, by extension) To fit in; to come together harmoniously.
