  2. Torque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque

    The problem with this definition is that it does not give the direction of the torque but only the magnitude, and hence it is difficult to use in three-dimensional cases. If the force is perpendicular to the displacement vector r, the moment arm will be equal to the distance to the centre, and torque will be a maximum for the given force. The ...

  3. Torsion (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_(mechanics)

    Torsion of a square section bar Example of torsion mechanics. In the field of solid mechanics, torsion is the twisting of an object due to an applied torque [1] [2].Torsion could be defined as strain [3] [4] or angular deformation [5], and is measured by the angle a chosen section is rotated from its equilibrium position [6].

  4. Couple (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Couple_(mechanics)

    The SI unit for the torque of the couple is newton metre. If the two forces are F and −F, then the magnitude of the torque is given by the following formula: = where is the moment of couple; F is the magnitude of the force; d is the perpendicular distance (moment) between the two parallel forces

  5. Slider-crank linkage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slider-crank_linkage

    But in reality, the torque is maximum at crank angle of less than α = 90° from TDC for a given force on the piston. One way to calculate this angle is to find out when the Connecting rod smallend (piston) speed becomes the fastest in downward direction given a steady crank rotational velocity. Piston speed x' is expressed as:

  6. Mechanical advantage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_advantage

    Let S be the distance from the axle of the fixed block to the end of the rope, which is A where the input force is applied. Let R be the distance from the axle of the fixed block to the axle of the moving block, which is B where the load is applied. The total length of the rope L can be written as = + +,

  7. Backlash (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backlash_(engineering)

    In mechanical engineering, backlash, sometimes called lash, play, or slop, is a clearance or lost motion in a mechanism caused by gaps between the parts. It can be defined as "the maximum distance or angle through which any part of a mechanical system may be moved in one direction without applying appreciable force or motion to the next part in mechanical sequence."

  8. Motor constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_constants

    The torque on shaft is 0.0053 N⋅m at 2 A because of the assumed radius of the rotor (exactly 1 m). Assuming a different radius would change the linear K v {\displaystyle K_{\text{v}}} but would not change the final torque result.

  9. Torsion constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torsion_constant

    In 1820, the French engineer A. Duleau derived analytically that the torsion constant of a beam is identical to the second moment of area normal to the section J zz, which has an exact analytic equation, by assuming that a plane section before twisting remains planar after twisting, and a diameter remains a straight line.
