In the previous article, we have discussed how to find the Natural Frequency for Free Longitudinal Vibrations. In this article, we are going to discuss the Natural Frequency of Free Transverse Vibrations. As we know the natural Frequency of the Free Transverse Vibrations can be determined by the following methods. Equilibrium Method Energy Method Rayleigh’s […]
Natural Frequency of Free Longitudinal Vibrations
We have discussed different types of free vibrations (Longitudinal, Transverse, Torsional) in the previous article. In this article, we are going to discuss the Natural Frequency of Free Longitudinal Vibrations. The natural Frequency of the Free Longitudinal Vibrations can be determined by the following methods. Equilibrium Method Energy Method Rayleigh’s method Equilibrium Method Let us […]
What is Pickering Governor? How does it work?
The Pickering Governor is spring controlled load governor categorised under the centrifugal governors. We have discussed the Hartung Governor, Hartnell governor and Wilson-Hartnell Governor in the previous articles, which are also the spring-loaded governors with which have different construction and working principle from this type of governor. Pickering Governor Pickering Governor is spring-loaded governor as we have mentioned, instead […]
What is Wilson-Hartnell Governor? How does it work?
The Wilson-Hartnell Governor is spring controlled load governor categorised under the centrifugal governors. We have discussed the Hartung Governor and Hartnell governor in the previous articles, which are also the spring-loaded governors with which have different construction and working principle from this type of governor. Wilson-Hartnell Governor In this type of governor, there is no need for the […]
What is Hartung Governor? How does it work?
The Hartung Governor is spring controlled load governor categorised under the centrifugal governors. We have discussed the Hartnell governor in the previous article, which is also a spring-loaded governor which has a different working principle from this type of governor. Hartung Governor In this type of governor, there is no need for the load on […]
What is Hartnell Governor? How does it work?
In the previous articles, we have discussed the dead weight type governor such as the proter governor and the Proell governor. The Hartnell governor is the spring-loaded type governor instead of dead weight on the sleeve. Hartnell Governor Hartnell Governor is basically a Centrifugal governor with a spring-loaded weight instead of dead weight on the […]
What are the types of Free Vibrations?
As we have discussed the vibratory motion in the Previous article, The three different types of vibrations are the free vibrations, forced Vibrations, Damped Vibrations. In this article, we are going to discuss what are the different types of Free Vibrations. Types of Free Vibrations When an initial displacement is given to a body, and […]
What is Vibratory Motion? | Terms used in Vibratory Motion
In the Theory of Machines, the term Vibratory motion is defined as the to and fro motion of a body about a fixed point due to the internal forces by the strain energy. Let’s discuss more on the Vibratory Motion of an object and different terms used in the Vibratory motion in this article. Vibratory […]
What is Proell Governor? How does it work?
As we have discussed in the previous article, the Porter governor has the central load on the sleeve, now we are going to modify it by extending the links upward to support the revolving balls to make the Proell Governor. This will make the Proell governer more sensitive than the Porter Governor. Proell Governor This […]
What is Porter Governor? How does it work?
The Porter governor is a modification of Watt’s governor with an additional central load attached to the sleeve. In the previous article, we have discussed the Watt Governor in detail. The Watt governor is the simple centrifugal governor which works based on the balancing of the centrifugal force as the working principle. Now let’s discuss […]
What is Watt Governor?
The simplest type of Centrifugal Governor is the Watt governor. In the previous article, we have discussed the Centrifugal governer in detail. In this article, we are going to discuss the Watt Governor in more detail. Watt Governor The main working principle behind Watt governor is the balancing of the centrifugal force. So these come […]
What is Section Modulus?
Section Modulus is also referred to as the Polar Modulus or the Torsional Sectional Modulus. It is denoted by Zp. Along with these, there are two more definitions also there to discuss. So let’s discuss this topic in more detail. (FYI: We discuss this topic more in terms of circular shafts, If you are looking […]
Centrifugal Governor | Types of Governors
As we have already discussed what is a governor in an Engine, in this article, we are going to see how many different types of governors are available under Centrifugal Governor and Inertia Governor. Governor Types The governors are broadly classified as under centrifugal governors and the Inertia Governors. The Centrifugal governors are widely used […]
What is Governor in Engine? How Does it Work?
The main function of the Governor in the IC Engines is to regulate the mean speed of the engine when there is a variation in the load. But there the flywheel is used to control the fluctuations of the speed during each cycle. It should not be confused with the governor function with the flywheel […]
What is D′Alembert’s Principle?
What does D′Alembert’s principle state that “The system of forces acting on a body in motion and the Inertia force of the body is in dynamic equilibrium” But how does this helpfull? Where it is applied? Do you know Newton’s second law (Law of acceleration)? What did it state? It states F=ma. Whereas F = […]
What is Flywheel? Why it is used?
The Flywheel, so-called the Energy reservoir also some times referred to as the inertia ring. This is used to store the energy during the period when the supply of energy is more than the required and utilise it during the period when it is less than the required in the cyclic operation. Flywheel In the […]
Turning Moment Diagram for a Four Stroke Engine
What is the Turning Moment Diagram? The turning_moment diagram is the plot between the turning moment of the crank to the position of the crank. It is also known as the Crank-Effort Diagram since it represents the crank-effort for various positions of the crank. Turning Moment Diagram As we said above the turning_moment diagram is […]
Different Types of Gear Trains used in the Power Transmissions
As we have discussed the different types of gears and their classifications and the gear terminology to start study more about the gears. The word “Gear train” defined as the one or more gears are meshed together to transmit the power between the driven and driven shafts. It is also called as the train of […]
What are the Types of Gears?
In the other article, we have discussed the classification of gears according to the different criteria, but in this article, we are going to discuss the different types of gears irrespective of these criteria. The gears may be classified as different types according to the shaft arrangement (Parallel, intersecting, non-parallel &non-intersecting), according to the gear […]
Classification of Gears
In the previous article, we have discussed the details regarding the Gear terminology. Now we will discuss the classification of Gears. The gear wheels are basically classified by different criteria as follows. According to the position of axes of the shaft According to the position of teeth on the gear surface According to the type […]
