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 […]
What are the different Cast Iron Types?
Cast iron is a Ferrous metal which is having iron as the main constituent. All the ferrous metals are extracted from the Pig iron by re-melting the pig iron with coke and limestone in a furnace. There are different types of Cast Iron are available. In this article, we have discussed all the different cast iron types […]
What is Torsional stress? | Torsional Shear Stress
Torsional shear stress or Torsional stress is the shear stress produced in the shaft due to the twisting. This twisting in the shaft is caused by the couple acting on it. What is a couple? How can shear stress in the shaft be produced? Let’s get into the subject. Shear Stress in Shafts Twisting can be […]
