What is a Tandem Axle Bogie Suspension? “Tandem” means “one unit after another and the units work together”. In case of the heavy duty trucks and trailer, the tandem axle…
Critical speed or whirling speed of a drive shaft is such a speed at which the deflection of the driving shaft increases drastically due to the effect of the cetripetal…
The torque in a shaft is responsible for rotating the driveshaft with respect to its axis. The drive shaft transmits torque from the gearbox to the axle and while doing…
A propeller shaft, drive shaft, driveshaft, driving shaft or cardan shaft is used for transmitting torque mainly in automobiles and in ships. This article will discuss the overview of the…
The torque diagram of a shaft is analogues to the shear force and bending moment diagram of a beam. It is an important engineering diagram from the pulley shaft design…
Plotting the S-N curve requires actual fatigue testing of the specimen, and that is why it may not always possible to have an exact S-N diagram for the component of…
What is cyclic loading? If the applied load (force) on a body changes cyclically (i.e., periodically with time) then the kind of loading is called cyclic loading. For example, when…
In the last article, I have discussed how to draw the velocity vector diagram for a four bar linkage mechanism. The same example I will used here as well for…
The space diagram, velocity vector diagram and the acceleration vector diagram are the important tools for analyzing a mechanism. With the help of the following example, i will explain the…
