  2. Balancing of rotating masses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balancing_of_rotating_masses

    In the case of a narrow wheel, balancing simply involves moving the center of gravity to the centre of rotation. For a system to be in complete balance both force and couple polygons should be close in order to prevent the effect of centrifugal force. It is important to design the machine parts wisely so that the unbalance is reduced up to the ...

  3. Balancing machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balancing_machine

    A blade balancing machine attempts to balance a part in assembly, so minimal correction is required later on. Blade mass balancing is typically done for short blades, while long blades may require moment weighing in one or two axes. Long blades that are also wide may require its axial moment to be measured to optimize hub stress distribution.

  4. Rotating unbalance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_unbalance

    A static balance (sometimes called a force balance [2] [3]) occurs when the inertial axis of a rotating mass is displaced from and parallel to the axis of rotation.Static unbalances can occur more frequently in disk-shaped rotors because the thin geometric profile of the disk allows for an uneven distribution of mass with an inertial axis that is nearly parallel to the axis of rotation.

  5. Rotordynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotordynamics

    Rotordynamics (or rotor dynamics) is a specialized branch of applied mechanics concerned with the behavior and diagnosis of rotating structures. It is commonly used to analyze the behavior of structures ranging from jet engines and steam turbines to auto engines and computer disk storage.

  6. Inverted pendulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverted_pendulum

    In both, (the cart and rotating system) the inverted pendulum can fall only in a plane. The inverted pendulums in these projects can either be required to maintain balance only after an equilibrium position is achieved, or can achieve equilibrium by itself. Another platform is a two-wheeled balancing inverted pendulum.

  7. Engine balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engine_balance

    Although some components within the engine (such as the connecting rods) have complex motions, all motions can be separated into reciprocating and rotating components, which assists in the analysis of imbalances. Using the example of an inline engine (where the pistons are vertical), the main reciprocating motions are:

  8. Critical speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_speed

    The unbalanced mass of the rotating object causes deflection that will create resonant vibration at certain speeds, known as the critical speeds. The magnitude of deflection depends upon the following: Stiffness of the shaft and its support; Total mass of shaft and attached parts; Unbalance of the mass with respect to the axis of rotation

  9. Ship stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ship_stability

    When the boat rolls, the rotation acts as an input to the gyro, causing the gyro to generate rotation around its output axis such that the spin axis rotates to align itself with the input axis. This output rotation is called precession and, in the boat case, the gyro will rotate fore and aft about the output or gimbal axis.
