Engineering Concepts with Explanations

Mechanical Engineering Concepts and their explanations

1) Lever : Basically it consists of a beam which connects on falcrum and its purpose to spend less effort for same purpose which is lifting.

2) Counter weight:
A counterweight is a term and a concept that balances the given load on the one side with efficient way. It purpose can be count saving energy and keeping taxis on the machine less.

3) The flywheel:
It ressts the changes during rotational motion and save energy from this transformation. It is a mechanical device that efficiently store energy with less friction.

4) Threaded Shaft
It locates inside (nut) or outside (screw) and its function is a continuous motion on helix angle.

5) Pantographs ( Scissor Mechanisms)
It generally serves to criss-cross motion. On the  support side with minimum level of pressure the cross struts are stretched out , pushing the top platform upward.

6)Fluid: Is a matter has motion and flow through one side to another and  which explains the behavior of a liquid or gas.

7)Block and Tackle: In order to use heavy loads with numerious number of pulleys is combined with a rod in order to lift the specific load.

8)Torque:
Generally we can define torque as a measure of the force which can cause rotation on a system referenced to a specific axis.


9) Energy:
Energy is the ability to move something against a force or the ability to do work .

10) Friction: Is a force between two . or more touched or connected pieces. Happens when one body and other one move on opposite directions while they are touching each other.
