The hypothesis used in developing the stress and strain in the shaft is that all points on a cross-section of the shaft experience the same angle of twist. The angle of twist for a section of length L ...

In these experiments, rods and tubes of different materials will be subjected to a torque and their torsional deflection measured using an optical lever technique. Torsional stress-strain curves will ...

A torsional natural frequency of a mechanical system is a frequency at which the inertia and stiffness torques are completely in balance (see App. C). In the absence of damping in the system, forcing ...

It is widely recognized that the rate of free decay of turbine-generator torsional oscillations following removal of all stimuli (forcing functions) is very small. Torsional damping for turbomachinery ...

Little is known on the rotational torque that players experience on these fields. High rotational torques between the shoe outsole and the sports surface has been correlated with torsional injuries of ...

The Epsilon axial/torsional extensometer was engineered to directly measure the shear strain, γ, as illustrated in the figure. This design allows the correct determination of the shear strain without ...

Testicular torsion is when a your testicle twists around. (The word torsion means “to twist.”) The motion also twists the spermatic cord that connects to the testicle. Inside this cord are ...

A RECENT study found that office workers are struggling with bad posture. If you think you’re guilty of a desk slump, these ...

The stock crank arms are carefully fitted with two pairs of tiny strain gauges. The gauges are wired in a Wheatstone bridge arrangement, with one gauge in each pair mounted perpendicular to the ...

The Model 3442AVG is an all-purpose averaging axial extensometer which is used in compression or tension in order to measure Young’s modulus, offset yield, and strain to failure. It is both ...

A poll of 2,000 adults who work at a desk found 12 per cent believe they have poor posture including a tendency to stoop over ...
