  2. Torque - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque

    In physics and mechanics, torque is the rotational analogue of linear force. [1] It is also referred to as the moment of force (also abbreviated to moment). The symbol for torque is typically , the lowercase Greek letter tau. When being referred to as moment of force, it is commonly denoted by M.

  3. Dynamometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamometer

    An 'inertia' dynamometer provides a fixed inertial mass load, calculates the power required to accelerate that fixed and known mass, and uses a computer to record RPM and acceleration rate to calculate torque. The engine is generally tested from somewhat above idle to its maximum RPM and the output is measured and plotted on a graph.

  4. 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.

  5. Inverse dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_dynamics

    Inverse dynamics is an inverse problem.It commonly refers to either inverse rigid body dynamics or inverse structural dynamics.Inverse rigid-body dynamics is a method for computing forces and/or moments of force (torques) based on the kinematics (motion) of a body and the body's inertial properties (mass and moment of inertia).

  6. Moment of inertia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_of_inertia

    The amount of torque needed to cause any given angular acceleration (the rate of change in angular velocity) is proportional to the moment of inertia of the body. Moments of inertia may be expressed in units of kilogram metre squared (kg·m 2 ) in SI units and pound-foot-second squared (lbf·ft·s 2 ) in imperial or US units.

  7. 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.

  8. Bolted joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bolted_joint

    A common relationship used to calculate the torque for a desired preload takes into account the thread geometry and friction in the threads and under the bolt head or nut. The following assumes standard ISO or National Standard bolts and threads are used: = where is the required torque

  9. Tractive effort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tractive_effort

    The term tractive effort is often qualified as starting tractive effort, continuous tractive effort and maximum tractive effort.These terms apply to different operating conditions, but are related by common mechanical factors: input torque to the driving wheels, the wheel diameter, coefficient of friction (μ) between the driving wheels and supporting surface, and the weight applied to the ...
