Whitworth quick return motion mechanism is an inversion of a double slider crank chain.
-
The maximum gyroscopic couple acting on the ship tends to shear the holding down bolts.
-
In a multiple V-belt drive, when a single belt is damaged, it is preferable to change the complete set to
-
A force acting in the opposite direction to the motion of the body is called force of friction.
-
A shaft has two heavy rotors mounted on it. The transverse natural frequencies, considering each of the rotor separately, are 100 Hz and 200 Hz respectively. The lowest critical speed is
-
The acceleration of piston in a reciprocating steam engine is given by (where ω = Angular velocity of crank, r = Radius of crank pin circle, θ = Angle turned by crank from inner dead centre, and n = Ratio of length of connecting rod to the radius of crank)
-
Torsional vibrations are said to occur when the particles of a body moves
-
A body is said to vibrate with simple harmonic motion if its acceleration is proportional to the distance from the mean position.
-
For the isochronous Porter governor, the controlling force curve is a straight line passing through the origin.
-
The virtual or equivalent eccentric for the Meyer's expansion valve is defined as an eccentric having such a length and angle of advance that will cause cut-off to take place at the same position, as is caused by the combined effect of main eccentric and expansion eccentric.
