  2. Torque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque

    The horizontal axis shows the rotational speed (in rpm) that the crankshaft is turning, and the vertical axis is the torque (in newton-metres) that the engine is capable of providing at that speed. Torque forms part of the basic specification of an engine: the power output of an engine is expressed as its torque multiplied by the angular speed ...

  3. Prony brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prony_brake

    The torque is then related to the lever length, shaft diameter and measured force. The device is generally used over a range of engine speeds to obtain power and torque curves for the engine, since there is a non-linear relationship between torque and engine speed for most engine types. Power output in SI units may be calculated as follows:

  4. Piston motion equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_motion_equations

    The angle domain equations above show that the motion of the piston (connected to rod and crank) is not simple harmonic motion, but is modified by the motion of the rod as it swings with the rotation of the crank.

  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. Torsion (mechanics) - Wikipedia

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

    Other calculation methods include membrane analogy and shear flow approximation. [8] r is the perpendicular distance between the rotational axis and the farthest point in the section (at the outer surface). ℓ is the length of the object to or over which the torque is being applied. φ (phi) is the angle of twist in radians.

  7. Euler's equations (rigid body dynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_equations_(rigid...

    Torque-free precessions are non-trivial solution for the situation where the torque on the right hand side is zero. When I is not constant in the external reference frame (i.e. the body is moving and its inertia tensor is not constantly diagonal) then I cannot be pulled through the derivative operator acting on L.

  8. Motor constants - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_constants

    Now, supposing that (angular speed per unit voltage) of the motor is 3600 rpm/V, it can be translated to "linear" by multiplying by 2π m (the perimeter of the rotor) and dividing by 60, since angular speed is per minute.

  9. Screw theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screw_theory

    The force and torque vectors that arise in applying Newton's laws to a rigid body can be assembled into a screw called a wrench. A force has a point of application and a line of action, therefore it defines the Plücker coordinates of a line in space and has zero pitch. A torque, on the other hand, is a pure moment that is not bound to a line ...
