  2. Parallel (engineering) - Wikipedia

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

    A parallel is a rectangular block of metal, commonly made from tool steel, stainless steel or cast iron, which has 2, [1] 4 or 6 faces ground or lapped to a precise surface finish.

  3. Rheometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rheometer

    A well-known version of this instrument is the Weissenberg rheogoniometer, in which the movement of the cone is resisted by a thin piece of metal which twists—known as a torsion bar. The known response of the torsion bar and the degree of twist give the shear stress, while the rotational speed and cone dimensions give the shear rate. In ...

  4. Parallel bars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallel_bars

    Parallel bars are floor apparatus consisting of two wooden bars approximately 350cm (11'6") long and positioned at 200 centimetres (6.6 ft) above the floor. Parallel bars are used in artistic gymnastics and also for physical therapy and home exercise . [ 1 ]

  5. Conical plate centrifuge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conical_Plate_Centrifuge

    A set of parallel plates with a tilt angle θ with respect to horizontal plane is installed to reduce the distance of the particle settling. The reason for the tilted angle is to allow the settled solids on the plates to slide down by gravitational force so they do not accumulate and clog the channel formed between adjacent plates. [3]

  6. Machine taper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_taper

    The angle of the cone is 16°51′ (16.85°) with an OD of 1.25″ and a length of 15 ⁄ 16 ″. [21] (source, Bridgeport Manufacturer) The diameter of the parallel locating portion is not a "fractional inch" size like the other dimensions and is 0.949″ to 0.9495″. Tools with an R8 taper are inserted directly into the machine's spindle.

  7. Plate theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_theory

    Plates are defined as plane structural elements with a small thickness compared to the planar dimensions. [1] The typical thickness to width ratio of a plate structure is less than 0.1. [ citation needed ] A plate theory takes advantage of this disparity in length scale to reduce the full three-dimensional solid mechanics problem to a two ...

  8. Solid angle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_angle

    The external surface area A of the cap equals r2 only if solid angle of the cone is exactly 1 steradian. Hence, in this figure θ = A/2 and r = 1. The solid angle of a cone with its apex at the apex of the solid angle, and with apex angle 2 θ, is the area of a spherical cap on a unit sphere

  9. Plate (structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_(structure)

    A plate is a structural element which is characterized by a three-dimensional solid whose thickness is very small when compared with other dimensions. [ 1 ] The effects of the loads that are expected to be applied on it only generate stresses whose resultants are, in practical terms, exclusively normal to the element's thickness.
