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 […]
Gear Terminology: Terms Used in Gears
In the Power transmission segment, gears have a significant role in transmitting the torque by the required velocity (transmission ratio) at the driver end to the driven end without any slipping. To begin with, first, we need to understand the Gear terminology, and followed by the different types of gears and their classification. Gear Terminology […]
What is a Clutch? | Friction Clutch
In the power transmission domain, the clutch has a significant role for transmitting the power between driver and driven which must be started and stopped frequently. A Clutch is used in this application to do the job. Let’s discuss more details on the Friction Clutch. Friction Clutch A friction clutch is a device is used […]
How to calculate the Torque required to lift the load by a Screw Jack?
Jackscrew, also known for the screw jack or a worm screw jack, machine screw jack, lead screw jack like many names. This device is used to lift heavy loads with a comparatively smaller effort with a hand lever. It basically converts the rotary motion into linear motion with a screw and nut. Screw Jack As […]
What are the different types of Friction?
It is almost impossible to produce frictionless surfaces for machine components. Even a very smooth surface is viewed under a microscope, it is found to have roughness and irregularities. which is impossible to check by an ordinary touch. So friction becomes a common problem for some cases and for some cases it is necessary to […]
What is the Concept Development Process?
As we have already discussed what are the different Product development processes, the concept development process is the front end process of all the other product development processes. Now we will discuss the Concept Development Process As we said above the concept development process is the front end process. It requires more coordination among the […]
What are the Product Development Processes?
As we have already discussed what is the product design & development and the challenges in the previous article, Now we will look into the different Product Development Processes and understand the significance. Product Development Processes The product development processes are the sequence of the activities that a firm or a business enterprise employs to […]
What are the Challenges of Product Development?
With the first article, on the Product design Engineering, we have discussed the characteristics of the successful product and the organizations involved in the process with in the firm. Now we will discuss the Challenges of Product Development. Challenges of Product Development Developing a new product is a challenging task. Few companies will only succeed. […]
What is Product Design Engineering?
The process of developing ideas, converting it into new product and bring it into the market by the organisations to satisfy the customer needs is known as the Product Design Engineering. With this article, we will be able to understand what is the product design engineering, and what are the characteristics of a successful product […]
What are the Double Slider crank mechanism Inversions?
In the previous article, we have discussed what is the kinematic chain and the important types of kinematic chains. The Double Slider crank chain is one of the important kinematic chains. Let discuss the different inversion of the Double Slider crank mechanism. Double Slider Crank Mechanism The name it self represent that it will have two sliding pairs […]
What are the Single Slider crank mechanism Inversions?
In the previous article, we have discussed what is the kinematic chain and the important types of kinematic chains. The Single Slider crank mechanism is one of the important kinematic chains. Let’s discuss the different inversions of the Single Slider crank. Single Slider Crank Chain Mechanism The Single Slider Crank Chain mechanism is nothing but the modified Four […]
What are the Four Bar Mechanism Inversions?
In the previous article, we have discussed what is the kinematic chain and the important types of kinematic chains. The four-bar mechanism is one of the important kinematic chains. Let discuss the different inversions of the four-bar mechanism. Four Bar Mechanism Four Bar chain Mechanism is also known as the Quadric Cycle chain. The four […]
What is a Kinematic Chain? What are the types?
In the previous article, we have discussed the Kinematic Link, Machine element and the Kinematic pair with different classifications of the Kinematic pairs. In this article, we are going to discuss what is the Kinematic Chain. Kinematic Chain From our previous article, the Kinematic Pair is the combination of the links or the machine elements. […]
What are the Kinematic pairs? |classification|
The relative motion between the two links or machine elements are completely constrained in a defined direction, Then the pair is known as the Kinematic Pair. Let’s discuss the Kinematic pairs in more details with the different constraints and, definitions of links and the machine elements. First of all, from the above definition, a pair […]
What is a Simple Harmonic Motion?
A simple example of a Simple Harmonic Motion is when we stretch a spring with a mass and release, then the mass will oscillate back and forth. This oscillation is called the Simple harmonic motion. Let’s discuss this topic in detail with some other definitions related to the Simple Harmonic Motion. Simple Harmonic Motion As […]
