Difference Between Static Balance and Dynamic Balancing
Balancing of Rotating Bodies The balancing of rotating bodies is important to avoid vibration. Dynamic and Static Balancing in Heavy Industrial machinery such as generators and motors can cause catastrophic failure, as well as…
D’Alembert’s principle
D'Alembert's principle, also known as the Lagrange–d'Alembert principle, is a statement of the fundamental classical laws of motion. It is named after its discoverer, the French physicist and mathematician Jean le Rond d'Alembert. It is the dynamic analogue…
Torque and rotational inertia
Torque We've looked at the rotational equivalents of displacement, velocity, and acceleration; now we'll extend the parallel between straight-line motion and rotational motion by investigating the rotational equivalent of force,…
Dynamics of Machinery
Relation between motion and forces causing is a fascinating subject. This study is a generally referred as dynamic. Modern Engineering aims at analysing and predicting dynamics behavior of physical systems…
Conditions for Static Equilibrium
We say that a rigid body is in equilibrium when both its linear and angular acceleration are zero relative to an inertial frame of reference. This means that a body in equilibrium…
Drawing Free-Body Diagrams
Free-body diagrams are diagrams used to show the relative magnitude and direction of all forces acting upon an object in a given situation. A free-body diagram is a special example…
Constrained Motion and Constraint Forces
Constrained motion results when an object is forced to move in a restricted way. For example, it may have to move along a curved track, to slide on a table that…
BELT
The belt or ropes are used to transmit power from one shaft to another shaft by means of pulleys which rotate at the same speed or at different speed. Types…
Clutch
Clutch for a drive shaft: The clutch disc (center) spins with the flywheel (left). To disengage, the lever is pulled (black arrow), causing a white pressure plate (right) to disengage the green clutch disc…
