A beam is a long and a straight piece with a uniform cross-section characterised by the type of supports. These beams are used to support different type of loads. There are different types of beams are available along with the different applied loads. Let’s see each of them. Types of Beams Cantilever Beam Simply Supported […]
What is Bending stress ? Bending stress in Straight beams?
When a machine component is subjected to a load (Static or dynamic load), it will experience the bending along its length due to the stress induced in it. This stress is known as Bending stress. Besides, there are other types of stress are also induced. they are Tensile stress, Compressive stress, Shearing stress, Bearing stress, Torsional stress. In this […]
Torsion of Shafts in series and parallel | Composite Shafts
A composite shaft is a shaft made up of two different diameters. The composite shaft may experience twist when they subjected to the torque. This twist can be obtained in these composite shaft, be based on the torque applied position when the shafts in series and parallel. A composite shaft When a shaft is having […]
How to calculate the shaft diameter from the torque?
When a shaft is transmitting a power from driver equipment to the driven equipment, It is necessary to calculate the shaft diameter from the torque based on the maximum torque that can be transferred through the shaft or the maximum amount of twist in the shaft. Otherwise, the shaft may not satisfy the functionality of […]
What is Wrought Iron? What are the properties and applications?
Wrought iron is the pure iron which is having more than 99.5% of iron as the major constituent. The other typical compositions like carbon, silicon and sulphur are available in very fewer compositions. The different properties and the applications of wrought iron are discussed in this article. Wrought Iron Wrought iron is an iron alloy […]
