What is Hertzian Stress? The area of contact, when two curved surfaces are in contact, is theoretically zero, so this will cause infinite stress and immediate failure of the object. However, on the application of load, a real area of contact is formed due to the deformation of the mating surfaces. Thus, when two bodies […]

What is a Curved Beam? Many Machine Parts, such as Crane Hook, C-clamps, Mechanical Punch Press Frame (C-shaped side view), Chain Links, Pipe Bends, and Curved portions of machine frames, are practical examples of the Curved Beams. The major difference compared to straight beams is that curved beams have initial curvature before applying the load,

There are various ways of connecting a Shaft and Housing to transmit the torque, such as spline, keyway, and shrink fit. It depends on the choice of designer, his past experience, type of application (shock load or smooth drive), cost factors, amount of torque, etc., to choose the way to connect the shaft and housing.

Cylinders (Hydraulic and Pneumatic) Cylinders become their most important component by converting fluid pressure and flow to force and velocity. Like a crankshaft converts the reciprocating motion of a piston into a rotating motion, the hydraulic or Pneumatic cylinder converts the converting the fluid energy into linear motion (in the form of mechanical energy). So
