  2. Piston motion equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piston_motion_equations

    For rod length 6" and crank radius 2" (as shown in the example graph below), numerically solving the acceleration zero-crossings finds the velocity maxima/minima to be at crank angles of ±73.17530°. Then, using the triangle law of sines, it is found that the rod-vertical angle is 18.60639° and the crank-rod angle is 88.21832°. Clearly, in ...

  3. Euler's critical load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler's_critical_load

    Fig. 2: Column effective length factors for Euler's critical load. In practical design, it is recommended to increase the factors as shown above. The following assumptions are made while deriving Euler's formula: [3] The material of the column is homogeneous and isotropic. The compressive load on the column is axial only.

  4. Compressive strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressive_strength

    In mechanics, compressive strength (or compression strength) is the capacity of a material or structure to withstand loads tending to reduce size (compression). It is opposed to tensile strength which withstands loads tending to elongate, resisting tension (being pulled apart).

  5. Shaft (mechanical engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaft_(mechanical_engineering)

    The following stresses are induced in the shafts.. Shear stresses due to the transmission of torque (due to torsional load).; Bending stresses (tensile or compressive) due to the forces acting upon the machine elements like gears and pulleys as well as the self weight of the shaft.

  6. Bearing pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_pressure

    The pressure force on the surface is equal to dF = P × dS = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ × P × D × L × dθ. The (y, z) plane is a plane of reflection symmetry, so the x compound of this force is annihilated by the force on the symmetrical surface element. The y compound of this force is equal to: dF y = cos(θ) dF = ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ × cos(θ) × P × D × ...

  7. Compression (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_(physics)

    The compressive forces may also be applied in multiple directions; for example inwards along the edges of a plate or all over the side surface of a cylinder, so as to reduce its area (biaxial compression), or inwards over the entire surface of a body, so as to reduce its volume.

  8. Axial compressor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_compressor

    An animated simulation of an axial compressor. The static blades are the stators.. An axial compressor is a gas compressor that can continuously pressurize gases.It is a rotating, airfoil-based compressor in which the gas or working fluid principally flows parallel to the axis of rotation, or axially.

  9. Compression ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_ratio

    For example, if the static compression ratio is 10:1, and the dynamic compression ratio is 7.5:1, a useful value for cylinder pressure would be 7.5 1.3 × atmospheric pressure, or 13.7 bar (relative to atmospheric pressure). The two corrections for dynamic compression ratio affect cylinder pressure in opposite directions, but not in equal strength.
